It seems that the ability to use raw roff codes in asciidoc.conf

later releases.
This patch aims to make it clear that the affected asciidoc
attribute (flag) can be reasonably used with docbook-xsl versions
other than 1.72.0.
Great, this looks like a definite improvement. Should we be respecting
more DOCBOOK_XSL_* variables than just 172, then? I.e.,:
+# For docbook-xsl ...
+# -1.68.1, set ASCIIDOC_NO_ROFF? (based on changelog from 1.73.0)
+# 1.69.0-1.71.1, no extra settings are needed?
+# 1.72.0, set DOCBOOK_XSL_172.
+# 1.73.0-, set ASCIIDOC_NO_ROFF
DOCBOOK_XSL_173, etc?
I don't know that we need to cover _every_ version, but if we can have
specific knobs for individual features (like ASCIIDOC_NO_ROFF), then
maybe it makes sense to aggregate the settings for those knobs for
a few
common versions.
I am not opposed to providing more version-specific controls, but I
am not sure which versions are important enough to justify their own
variables. Are you indicating that 1.73 is important enough because
it was a "return to sanity" after 1.72?
The versions I listed in the comments were just the ones that the
tools' documentation described as needing one adjustment or another.
I thought the comments would be an easy way to start tracking which
versions were "interesting".
