When I was trying out the series yesterday, I was wondering if this is something we can autodetect.

Output from "asciidoc --version" is easily machine parsable for giving asciidoc7compatible aka ASCIIDOC8, but I couldn't come up with anything simpler than probing a few hardcoded paths under /usr/share/sgml; that approach is unacceptable because would not work if your stylesheets are in somewhere we do not know about. Ideally, we should be able to ask the tools we invoke (e.g. xmlto) to get that information.
