Yes I noticed asciidoc is also part of O'Reilly's new html5 based toolchain, htmlbook. In earlier discussions with Jason I figured that it would make sense to move maybe a year or so down the line. For the moment docbook5 seems to be working ok.
Currently there aren't good open source tools for doing the pdf generation (from html5+css3) but they are coming. Tools like prince (http://www.princexml.com/) work well but are pricey. Though you can use it for non-commercial purposes if you don't mind the prince logo you get stuck on your document. I've tried it on the o'reilly htmlbook output and it does work :-) I'm sure the open source convertors are on the horizon.
