The take I'd really like to see on HTML5 presentations is making them easy to author. If not by end-users, at least making it so there's no layout micromanagement involved.

I've made an open source experimental authoring tool for such presentations here http://adityab.github.com/Awwation

It uses SVG, and Javascript for animations.

That's interesting, but in viewing the presentation the text is almost unreadable in Safari -- too much space between some letters, while others overlap.

If it works in Chrome, Firefox and IE... what's Safari doing wrong here? Oddly I just checked it on the iPhone and it seems fine there (although zooming out seems to be blocked, so the presentation is much too large for the screen).

That's a... bug. If you resize the window even by a slight amount, just once, everything starts looking perfect.

I'm always unsure about using code released under Creative Commons. What are requirements wrt. attribution? Does ‘Share Alike’ mean that the source code of a product using the library must be released under CC BY-SA as well?

Otherwise, Presenteer looks nice. Text becomes a bit blurry during animation (Chrome 18.0), but apart from that—no problems, and API seems clean.
