SC consideration about Asciidoc vs Markdown

Down the road, this Subcommittee is likely to be asked, What did we
    think about the dark horse format, Asciidoc? A key benefit is its
    designed allowance of metadata that has required workarounds for
    Markdown. A downside is that it is a relative newcomer in the field,
    but the growing interest in it portends its potential to overtake
    Markdown. 

    

    This podcast is an interesting listen for a backgrounder on the
    origins and trajectory of this particular lightweight markup
    approach. The web page has links to more info about Asciidoc itself.

    I broach this as a subject line mainly for ensuring we have given it
    due diligence and can later point to a decision with justification.
