Mario,
Regarding this comment:
> "trying to be consistent with the output produced by a2x" is a bit strange. Who benefits of such a consistent output?
Please don't use shaming tactics to try to get what you want, especially without understanding why a decision was made. If you want to present a concrete proposal about how we can build on what we have, feel free to bring that proposal to the floor. But please do so in a constructive way. Suggesting that we don't know our own users is not constructive.

Asciidoctor isn't an entity you can address. Asciidoctor doesn't just do things. It's a community. You can lift up other community members who are interested in building on what has already been done, or you can do it yourself. But you can't just point at the project and say "do that". It doesn't work that way. And saying what it does is wrong, limiting, or a constraint, but that you will use it anyway (implying it's bad, but you put up with it), isn't how you help make it better. All that does is create animosity and harm the project. In the future, please be both constructive and respectful when you leave comments.
