If you want to go into the direction of the web, AsciiDoc is actually the
wrong choice IMO, and Markdown would be the right choice. Basically
everybody on the web is either supporting Markdown or being asked by users
to do so.

Assuming that *that* is something we want to pursue, I would also suggest
to move the man pages away from AsciiDoc to Markdown (using e.g.
[ronn](https://rtomayko.github.io/ronn/ronn.1.html)).

Ciao,
Dscho
