I'm referring to the fact that a presentation document at Slideshare is
not viewable nor downloadable, unless I identify myself or run a browser
app.

Both of which have no technical justification; a PDF presentation
document would do just as well and avoid those problems.

When directing people to view one's presentation document, please make
sure the document is available via a simple download, not a needless
user-registration process.
