Indeed, there are times where you can't connect your own equipment
to a projector, and it's reasonable for other people to not want you
to install stuff on their computer (and in the case of MacOSX or
Windows, installing quite a bit of stuff to get to the point of
being able to compile and run sent).

I propose some masochist makes a little sent -> html convertor (with
a light sprinkling of javascript to advance to the next slide with
one keypress). It wouldn't be hard, but it also wouldn't be very
satisfying. But it would be useful.
