Actually, I take it back. After looking more carefully, it renders quite
poorly. There's a lot of structural indentation that ends up being
confused as code blocks.

I don't know if it's better to have a poorly-formatted HTML file, or
none at all. :)

Personally, I would just read the source. And I have a slight concern
that if we start "cleaning it up" to render as asciidoc, the source
might end up a lot less readable (though I'd reserve judgement until
actually seeing it).
