Right. We are talking about presentation slides,
not about something that absolutely has to readable years hence.


You seem to not understand this:
http://www.ietf.org/about/note-well.html

It definitely *IS* highly important that this information
is readable in 10+ years.


I do know that there are folks whose primary purpose is to produce
pretty slides to impress bigwigs during a short span of attention,
and where it a regular custom that the slides become entirely
useless after the meeting.  In the IETF, however, there is an
important difference with information being published, going
on public record, and becoming an IETF contribution.
