I don't know if this is helpful from someone who hasn't thought through the details of beamer support but just in case: is there any chance that we should be thinking at this stage of a generic org-presentation API which would initially support just beamer but which would leave open the possibility for others to implement other slide presentation engines? For example I remember that someone once brought up the possibility on this list of exporting org to OpenOffice presentation format. And it's possible to create something like a slide-show in HTML/CSS -- although I never see anyone doing it. There are at least some things in common between different slide-show engines, such as where to break from slide to slide, slide titles, non-slide notes, etc. Also, I do agree with others that to the extent possible we want presentations to emerge naturally out of 'normal' org-files with the help of established org mechanisms such as selective subtree export. E.g. using the heading title to set the column width feels wrong; the natural reaction is to think that that sort of metadata should be in a property.
