[1] I would not be surprised if they do not actually format all that
    well. Though they are written in an asciidoc-ish style, they have
    not traditionally been formatted, and I suspect there are many small
    errors (like improper quoting of metacharacters) in them.

They aren't even "errors". As far as I (who writes the release
notes) am concerned, they are straight text without any asciidoc
or markdown mark-up.

I'm wondering: If it's neither markdown nor markup then what is it:
marklevel, markeven or markstraight?

They are called plain text.

On a different note: Is pdf really the format of choice for mobile
platforms? I'd expect something that is "formatted" (markup) but can
reflow text intrinsically, not only by making your pdf reader jump
through hoops. HTML?

Yeah, I've been wondering if epub or something might be a better
target myself.
