I tried writing a defaults file but Pandoc complains that certain options in there are not recognized. In particular, "height" and "revealjs-url" appear invalid. They were recognized in the yaml header block (in the main md source file).

Same problem with Beamer: option "aspectratio" is not recognized.

Any suggestions?

You could have one defaults file for revealjs and another for
beamer; in addition to different themes, these could specify
the output format.
