For web-native presentations that (since they use HTML / CSS / JS) are easier to make accessible, does anyone use S5[1] or HTML Slidy[2]?

Thank you!

Many reasons why PDFs are needed.

Governments, corporations, and institutionals generally need a copy of everything they create that can be easily archived and established as a snapshot; that is, this was the document's state at this particular point in time.
Often it must be secured or locked from further edits or changes.
And it must be stored someplace where they have total control of the information, such as on their own servers, not Google's.

HTML versions are often spread across several webpages making it difficult to refer to "one" document. Google Docs are on Google's servers.

Other considerations:
One file that can be attached to an email, burned to a flash drive, and distributed.
Once they are downloaded to the device, PDFs don't require an active internet connection or fast bandwidth.
