Sounds useful.
But try to put the logic in asciidoc.conf or maybe the backends so that the
language files only need to use a differently named attribute (instead of
{docdate} and {doctime}) since the language files are maintained by people
who know the language, not necessarily Asciidoc configuration techniques.
That will also make it easier for you to use a script or sed or something
to change all the languages as part of your PR ;)
