I'm not familiar with asciidoc.
Rather than having to take peoples word for [how language xyz looks],
how about we put up some sample pages, with a medium (or possibly even
high) complexity "sample document", in (abbreviated)HTML, asciidoc,
and whatever else people would like to propose?
Lets have people actually LOOK AT what they are deciding about, before
they make decisions.

Both the 'working code', and how the resulting output looks.
