IMHO, only minor additions to standard docbook are needed:

- Some trivial containers like slides, foil and foilgroup with
  title, info, and divcomponentmix elements.

- An explicit element for speakernotes with divcomponentmix.

- An attribute for incremental display (lists, graphics),
  but I happily (mis-) use role for that.

Probably I forgot something.
