It's worth noting that we're a substantial portion of the asciidoc user 
base, at least based on asciidoc's "Projects using AsciiDoc" page. We 
could probably be influential in the asciidoc development if we tried 
(maybe starting with a config file mechanism for controlling what 
characters are markup instead of literal, so that we'll be able to make 
documents which will work the same with all versions of asciidoc).

Tempting, but...

 * The breakage that triggered this thread was not about asciidoc
   but about docbook-xsl.  AsciiDoc project cannot do much about
   it.

 * The slowness while formatting our manual pages are 50% from
   xmlto toolchain and even if AsciiDoc were were to be sped up
   20x, we will still spend 4-5 minutes to format ~140 manual
   pages.
