Well, I have answered my own question to a great extent, since I've discovered the iOS Release Notes PDF. Apparently it was in the Help menu all the time! Stupid of me - but maybe a few references sprinkled over the other documentation and the 'Resources Centre' section might have been helpful, to me at any rate.
I am not sure that this is the end of the story - but I'm sure I'll be a lot happier when I get to page 83 of the document. Although I finally found the 'glue' document, I am still very much interested in any sources of information outside this list.
