I think it looks better with color to emphasize that it is different,
just as the <code> blocks get monospaced _and_ colored.

However, I think this is a matter of poor semantic markup in the first
place. Italics on a word for emphasis in text is very different from
what is happening here, which is essentially typesetting math variables.
I would say that `Z` is probably a better match, though I prefer the
LaTeX-style "math mode" italics for this sort of thing. I think asciidoc
supports some math markup, but I haven't lookd at it.

So basically, I think these variables look fine slanted and green. But I
think an emphasized word in the text should not be green.
