On a different note, why not create an archive(.jar, .tar.gz ?) and
write a Firefox Extension which can handle this archive, and display
the slides without the user having to unzip and point the browser to
the files. This will make s5 presentations more portable.

Ofcourse IE users would be neglected, but IE users can just unzip and
the archive and get the original files.
