So, is there a better way to author S5 than being really, really careful 
while writing XHTML by hand and using an XHTML validator a lot?

I'm thinking about using S5 for an upcoming MerriLUG presentation but if 
it is a pain to author I might just stick with PowerPoint (yeah, 
PowerPoint on Mac OSX for a presentation on FOSS software (Python) to a 
Linux UG, spare me the comments...)
