However, the most popular method of developing slides by far, is by Powerpoint/Keynote/OO.org Impress etc. I don't think there has been developed any good method for converting these kinds of slide sets to the S5 format or a similar format. So while it may be true that "they should just be wiki pages", in reality that doesn't really work. In the absence of good format conversion methods, it makes more sense to aim for collaborative editing of the existing popular style of creating slides.
another option is to make a new "skin" for the wiki, that is much like a "web slideshow" viewer. And having a "master page" that include the frames (so you can use frames from a different slideshow).
pros: - use text - simple - it can reuse frames - editable with a browser
cons: - It don't use the popular Microsoft Office [tm] software - not wysiwig
