I've always mounted one half white / one half black, and thought that for
viewing, the black side should face the person viewing, while for projection,
the white side should face the lens. Obviously this requires you to either
re-mount, or use them in the less-than-optimal way.

So, how about mounting slides for viewing using both white halves, and 
slides for hand viewers using both black halves? Since the optimum slides
for viewing and projection are different, why not mount them differently -
this also gives immediate indication of which slides are which as well!

I just thought of this, but might try it ...
