MOBI/AZW is a old format with very limited formatting capability (a subset of HTML3). LIT is slightly better but not by much. Of course, this may make them easier to convert.

That's what I thought, based on years of reading mobileread, but not on extensive conversion experience. (Although in the special case amazon generated azw3, I strongly prefer converting to EPUB with KindleUnpack.) My concern is that people reading that page might infer that converting to LIT before converting to something else or choosing to archive their books as LIT.
In my experience Kovid Goyal is fast to approve documentation pull requests that have a reasonable case behind them. I don't feel qualified to change the particular topic of conversion input format precedence myself.
