Thanks, Lex.  I worked a bit more on this today, and found that I just
wasn't using named attributes correctly.  Once I switched to specifying all
attributes, positionally, it worked great.  (Asciidoc 8.6.5 on OSX installed
via homebrew, btw)

Is there a way to use named attributes to specify only a subset of
attributes, rather than positional attributes?  E.g.:

[language=javascript,src_start=8,src_end=24]

rather than:

[javascript,unnumbered,2,8,24]

or

[javascript,,,8,24]
