Following up on this:
On Fedora 10, I have asciidoc 8.2.5 and docbook 1.7.4 xsl's. For proper
man and html doc, I have to set DOCBOOK_XSL_172=Yes but leave ASCIIDOC8
unset! I always forget, though (just like the packagers).

Setting DOCBOOK_XSL_172 shuts off a certain hack which would otherwise
introduce the notorious .ft in man output.

Setting ASCIIDOC8 would keep _emphasis_ from being transformed into
<emphasis>emphasis</emphasis>, which means it would end up as literal
_emphasis_ in man as well as html.
