So I can do condition="presentation."  Then I might add an additional 
attribute for "audience"?  Is there any problems doing this?

The concrete example is this:

I am working on a book.  From the book, I will draw academic talks.  
However, I will also be teaching a course that will present much of the 
content in the book.  So, I'm hoping for an elegant way to have a 
single source, for multiple presentation media (print and presentation 
slides) and audiences (scholars vs. students).
