I think it is a great idea: I had the same thought myself a while ago!
But I haven't had the time to follow it up yet. I don't think it would
be all that difficult to adapt the latex publishing style to do this.
I had something a little more elaborate in mind: I think it would be
great to be able to make a document from which one could generate
slides, handouts, and lecture notes using the beamer class.
I envisaged using tags, something like this:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Cras
hendrerit, metus quis porta tempus, velit turpis semper leo, vitae
porttitor felis augue ut risus.
<slide>
- First slide
- First bullet
- sub bullet
- Second bullet
</slide>
Maecenas a risus id sem ullamcorper
suscipit. Nam aliquet.
But it could be the other way round, with slides as the top-level, and
tags for notes:
<note>
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Cras
hendrerit, metus quis porta tempus, velit turpis semper leo, vitae
porttitor felis augue ut risus.
</note>
- First slide
- First bullet
- sub bullet
- Second bullet
<note>
Maecenas a risus id sem ullamcorper
suscipit. Nam aliquet.
</note>
