I think we are really hitting the limits of the concept of separating content from layout. For slides, the two tend to be intimately related. That said, this concept has so much value in and of itself that it is extremely valuable for me, even for slides. It is well worth pushing it as far as it gets. If I have, say, an image and some annotating text, it is really a case for two columns (if I used portrait-format pages, the two would be stacked, not side-by-side). However, if I have two bulleted lists where there is some degree of correspondence between bulleted items, I need some more control about vertical alignment. This is rather a case for a table. Is it possible to create two-column slides, and mix them with one-column slides within one document? Even nastier: The columns may all have different widths, depending on the content. It would sometimes be nice to be able to put things into boxes, and these boxes are laid out on the page as they fit, row by row, top to bottom, much as you can do it with <div>'s in HTML.
