I have been using my XSLies presentation generator as a valid
PowerPoint substitution for some time already. Have a look at
<http://www.iki.fi/lempinen/xslies/>
if you're interested.

I have a few patches and improvements submitted by others that I
should make into a new release soon enough. The new version will have
- No dependency on the Java XSLT extension
- Clickable items on the contents page
- Support for controlling which slides are included in the contents
page
- Easy way of making links between slides.
