OK; feel free to get back to me as time permits, here or off-list (I 
don't often check this list).

It's just a JQuery-based version of S5, called S6. My fork of it is here:

<http://github.com/bdarcus/s6>

The background image is just a simple, very small, SVG gradient.

I author in markdown, run the file through pandoc to convert to XHTML 
(though any markdown processor will do), and then pipe it to an XSLT 
that converts it into my (idiosyncratic) S6 XHTML.

Am looking to be able to (easily) do something vaguely like ...

\SlideTitle{Some Slide}[style=big-title]

.. where 'big-title' gets me the title large and centered 
vertically on the page.

More generally, it's just the idea to be able to adept the 
rendering on a per-page basis with a simple parameter (rather than 
me having to figure out how to write lower-level code). It is 
therefore conceptually analogous to the master slide feature you 
see in apps like Keynote or PowerPoint.
