What unsafe things do we include?  Maybe _that_ is what should
be fixed?

Also the last time we checked (I cannot take credits for this
work -- see "git show origin/todo:TODO" and look for
"AsciiDoc"), AsciiDoc 8 had backward compatibility problems, and
you needed to add some pragma in asciidoc.conf to make it
compatible with sources written for AsciiDoc 7 (i.e. our
documentation).  However, the pragma is not understood by older
asciidoc (and worse, makes older ones abort, as far as I
recall), so we cannot just add the pragma and use either
AsciiDoc 7 or 8 interchangeably.
