Currently, slides become part of the proceedings. That means that anything in 
one of those "software versions" will have to be exported to ppt, pptx, or pdf 
eventually. What is the problem with requiring that on submission?

The loss of resolution for that might make the slides unreadable for remote 
viewers, whereas showing the pixels coming out of the projector would not.

The advantage of your #2 is that people can see what a presenter is pointing to 
with a laser pointer. My estimate from the past two IETFs is that fewer than 2% 
of presentations use laser pointers, and even some of those did not require 
knowing what was being pointed to.
