You could also put repeated information into the header.  E.g. the
presentation title, or the company name, or whatever.  So having support
for headers might really be useful.

Another thing that's bothering me is the vertical space.  There should
be much less space between elements, e.g. paragraphs or list items.
(Yes, I realize compact_lists is 0, and that's fine, but yet the
vertical space should be reduced to a reasonable amount.)

And one thing that may be an S5 issue though: The page numbers at the
bottom are psychologically a very bad thing for the audience ("oh no, 34
slides to go!").  IMO they should be deactivated by default.
