Keynote & OmniGraffle/OmniOutliner

I bought Keynote for use at work in translating the endless stream of
inane PowerPoint presentations... just one less Microsloth application
cluttering the hard drive.
However, my favorite way to make presentations is with OmniGraffle and
GraphicConverter. Just prepare the slides-to-be in a single OG document
- in any size or style - and save each element you want to become a
slide as a PDF file. Put all the files in a single folder, and ask
GraphicConverter to present them as a presentation (timed or keyed). If
you're into form over substance, GC can even use Quicktime for
elaborate transition effects.
Of greater concern to me is the effect Safari will have on OmniWeb.
Of course, all this information might be a bit easier to manage if only
OmniOutliner would accept graphics from OmniGraffle (hint, hint).
