I believe you can embed HTML in the mdtext also.
Yes, that is correct.

I am not clear how much of the final page is static and how much is
generated on demand in response to access to the pages.
It's all static. The mdtext -> html conversion is run by buildbot when the pages are committed to svn.

This reminds me of one problem of this model for the sake of having
an ASF-friendly management and oversight structure.  It makes it
difficult for an author to preview their work without creating
patches and waiting to see what happens.
What you do in this case is install the CMS tools locally:

http://www.apache.org/dev/cmsref.html#local-build

I work by checking out the source locally, and running the markdown daemon on my system. It's also possible to edit in-place using the CMS bookmarklets, but that requires commit access to the svn. For non-committers, the best way is to make edits locally, generate a patch, and submit it to Jira.
