The only thing I would mention is that reversing the slide in the opposite way that Ansel recommended and which is pretty much the traditional and accepted way, will not eliminate the problem of ruining and exposed sheet if film.... at least not if my thinking is correct. The problem would be the same and the chances of messing up an exposed sheet of film are the same. You're simply reversing the meaning of the black and white side of the slide but once you get used to that, I can't see any reason why you couldn't make the same mistake that you are trying to prevent.
