I took the names from the good ol' DocBook slides DTD :~)

I'm really not sure about this. In fact, I never used the
speakernotes in DocBook slides.

Currently I'm transforming DocBook-Slides to S5, which is a
JavaScript-Library for HTML-Slides. It does incremental
display of lists, e.g. everytime the presenter hits "space"
one list item more appears. (Sidenote: I'm not too happy with
S5, as I occasionally hit performance problems. Maybe one
should rewrite S5 in sth. small and fast, such as JQuery.)

Cheers!
