So far not much. Actually I would be interested in beamer feature: to
mark to read only new on the frame: currently if frame is

\begin{frame}
Harry loves Sally

\pause
Sally loves Harry
\end{frame}

it would be read as

Harry loves Sally Harry loves Sally Sally loves Harry

So, the second entry of "Sally loves Harry" in pdf file should be
marks as skipped
