Sorry for stepping-in, but to me it seems that you might try to have a
look ODF and OOXML and see how they describe presentation slides. It
seems that your requirements are so presentational and layout driven
that it simply doesn't nicely fit into DocBook principles.
I was afraid this argument would come up, but this question is actually
why I wrote that mail in the first place.
There are many different reasons to use docbook for slides, but I don't
think the clean separation of presentation from content is among them
(for most of us). Rather, I believe the main argument is that it
encourages 'code reuse', i.e. it allows me to copy&paste from other
docbook sources. This is why I suggest that in this context (i.e. a 'DB
5 slides extension') *some* added presentational markup would be a very
useful thing to have.
Thanks,
Stefan
