Is it possible to disallow :overlay when :environment is provided? If so you could generate a warning during export. That said, the way I see it, most widely used list-like environments are of the "new item on a new line" kind (which are supported by overlays). I wanted to use inparaenum for ease of editing, in my slide I wanted an inline list (where overlays aren't really needed). So setting the two attributes simultaneously is probably very unlikely. I am quoting my use case below in case that helps the discussion.

I added another related feature that may come handy: math table
clusters. Contiguous math tables sharing the same mode are enclosed
within the same math environment. It allows to type, for example:
--8<---cut here---start->8---
#+label: I_2
#+attr_latex: :mode math :environment bmatrix
| a | b |
|---+---|
| c | d |
#+attr_latex: :mode math :environment bmatrix :math-prefix "\\times"
| 1 | 0 |
|---+---|
| 0 | 1 |
#+attr_latex: :mode math :environment bmatrix :math-prefix "="
| 1 | 0 |
|---+---|
| 0 | 1 |
#+attr_latex: :mode math :environment bmatrix :math-prefix "\\times"
| a | b |
|---+---|
| c | d |
#+attr_latex: :mode math :environment bmatrix :math-prefix "="
| a | b |
|---+---|
| c | d |
--8<---cut here---end--->8---
and get:
--8<---cut here---start->8---
\begin{equation}
\label{I_2}
\begin{bmatrix}
a & b \\
c & d \\
\end{bmatrix}
\times\begin{bmatrix}
1 & 0 \\
0 & 1 \\
\end{bmatrix}
=\begin{bmatrix}
1 & 0 \\
0 & 1 \\
\end{bmatrix}
\times\begin{bmatrix}
a & b \\
c & d \\
\end{bmatrix}
=\begin{bmatrix}
a & b \\
c & d \\
\end{bmatrix}
\end{equation}
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

This is a bug which I fixed some hours ago. Though, you need to escape
the backslash.

I just tried this (using current head on master), but the following
#+begin_src org
#+attr_latex: :options "0.9\linewidth"
[[./objets.pdf]]
#+end_src
yields
#+begin_src latex
\includegraphics[(:options 0.9linewidth)]{./prototype.pdf}
#+end_src latex
The problem is that even if I remove the ":option", then I get
"(0.9linewidth)" with extra parentheses and the backslash removed.
This is for a beamer file.
Is this a bug?

I think this is an improvement. Thanks!
Would it be possible to add a :font attribute for tables? I'd like to be
able to say, e.g., :font "\\footnotesize" and have \footnotesize appear
between the float and table environments, near \centering in the LaTeX
output.
All the best,
Tom

No. Attributes only apply on a single list not on a whole list type.
Though, it's easy to implement with filters. For example:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun my-latex-inline-plain-lists (plain-list backend info)
(when (org-export-derived-backend-p backend 'e-latex)
(replace-regexp-in-string
"\\`begin{\\(itemize\\)}" "inparaitem"
(replace-regexp-in-string
"end{\\(itemize\\)}\\'" "inparaitem" plain-list nil nil 1)
nil nil 1)))
(add-to-list 'org-export-filter-plain-list-functions
'my-latex-inline-plain-lists)
#+end_src

BTW: on the lists: very good idea. I have often been bothered by only having one type of (LaTeX) lists. Can I set it per list type? I.e. plain lists are inlined and enumerated are 'normal'? Again, thanks for this improvement to the already very nice LaTeX exporter! –Rasmus -- C is for Cookie
