Wouldn't that also be more or less what a slideshow format does? I
think you could re-state the format as being a time-sequenced series
of related bits of information. Maybe with the addition that the info
may also be associated with a spoken narrative of some sort.

The fact that slide authoring programs allow multiple views (slideshow,
speaker notes, and even an outline view) suggests that there's an
underlying concept beyond just presentation.

On the other hand, there are several existing microformats that might
be good to reuse, has the original poster given that a shot yet?
