Since you have mentioned that in the comments and someone else mentioned
AsciiDoc, they weren't included because:

- HTML is mostly a destination format.  With the listed formats it is
possible to produce a variety of outputs (mostly HTML itself and PDF;
secondarily text or ePub or others).

- AsciiDoc was considered by the Linux kernel folks but they complained
about the tools.
