Maybe a standardized .adoc extension may help wrt. this ? In that case
calling the file adoc.vim may be fine as well.

No problem, I took the time to improve it slightly. But I'm committed to
work on it on other files I have at work to further improve it in the
future. In my opinion, having it as part of asciidoc or vim will help
scale the work to other people as well.

Right, I just added better support for the '= titles', the

I understand, but a simple comment at the top stating that this is a work
in progress and contact information may get us a long way. Also important
is making sure the syntax get loaded for asciidoc documents automatically.
This hoewever is practically not possible atm.

I did, here's my work on it. I lack any git skills so I hope you don't
mind doing a diff.
Also, if I compare the asciidoc syntax file against the one that ship wit
vim 7 I see a lot more complexity that is not in the official ones. I
understand this is to allow backward compatibility with older vim
releases. (< 5.8)
Given the fact that even RHEL 2.1 ships with vim 6 I wonder if the need
to be backward compatible with ancient vim's is warranted.
Stuart: How about pushing this into the next asciidoc release so we can
all advantage from it and can send patches against the upstream syntax
file ?
Thanks in advance,
