The only problem I encountered were:
1) presentations I created earliuer, had problems with the paper size.
I copied the content simply into a new document of class
presentation(beamer) and then the article(beamer) also worked.
2)Some (I found only one) options for beamer seem to be causing
problems: the one I found is beamerdefaultoverlayspecification. If you
add the following to the preamble, it works:
\only<presentation>{
\beamerdefaultoverlayspecification{<+->}
}
Effectively, they are only evaluated for presentations.
Otherwise: straight forward. Try it out: if it does not work, I can
send a small example.

Yes - sorry. Replied accidently only to you. I'll send it to the list as well.
