It seems to be a limitation of the docbook-xsl, manually adding
emphasis to the name in the docbook still produced the same roff:

.SH "NAME"
asciidoc \- converts an AsciiDoc text file to HTML or DocBook

The content of the NAME section needs special (hardcoded) processing
to split it into names and purpose to go in the appropriate docbook
entities.  To make this simpler, and presumably since the xsl doesn't
handle markup in names, no markup is handled in name and purpose
fields.

I didn't examine if roff would handle it, if it was generated.

So there are at least two roadblocks to marking up the name and purpose.
