Hi G. Wade,
First of all, thanks for sharing such cool stuff. ;-)

I wasn't aware of S5 and that made me revisit HTML Slidy [1] and
remember a few LaTeX [2] experiments... :-) I specially liked the
simple and clean layout, with the SVG logo. Good work! ;-)

About the presentation: you are using "iframe" from embedding SVG
content. While this seems to lead to a slightly shorter syntax (are
there other reasons?), I've noticed that using IE8+ASV6 it triggers a
security warning *for each* embedded SVG... :-( Also, IE (by default)
draws a border around iframes so you may tweak your CSS if you want to
keep this approach. I'd suggest using "object" instead (Slidy proposes
that [3], by the way), as it will at least lower the number of
security warnings to one. ;-)
About sparkline: I've noticed the examples hard-code the height and
width of the sparkline in the generated SVG. The proposal is that they
"height" and "width" attributes in the top-level "svg" element are
abandoned (the default is "100%" for both, so the content resizes to
the available space ("viewBox" and "preserveAspectRatio" should take
care of the rest). Idea was that the content dimension was only
decided when embedding into prose, allowing dimensioning dynamically
according to line height. Also, seeing an enlarged version of the SVG
when browsing directly seemed more interesting and even useful for
debugging. Just my two cents! ;-)
Regards,
Helder
