Thanks for the reply, Kevin. I'll push out an updated spec to my git repo
and work with the maintainer to push a build into rawhide.

I'd probably be happy if the update to asciidoc is available in rawhide
(for Fedora 18).

I went ahead and looked into what depends on it, and it turns out there's
only one package that claims a dependency on asciidoc, fawkes-devenv. That
application uses asciidoc for creating man pages, so I seriously doubt that
the upgrade will cause them any problems since that part of asciidoc hasn't
barely been touched.

I'll proceed with the process to get it updated in rawhide (I'm not a
packager atm, so I'm just assisting).
