Wow, accentuate does look pretty nice. It doesn't seem to support
javascript in the PDF though.

This seems like it would be a lot of work, and beamer has the same problem.
The resul, as you suggested, appears to be that pdftk does not retain
bookmark information.
From http://www.ubuntusky.com/2007/05/06/learning-pdftk-by-examples/,
"""
*Pdftk doesn't retain bookmarks, but it does keep hyperlinks to both
destinations within the PDF and to external files or Web sites. *
"""
My guess is that efforts would be best spent in pdftk and extending it to
support bookmarks, rather than in powerdot, beamer, etc.
