The two-line header just switches the compat mode on by default. You can
still disable compat mode explicitly using:

:compat-mode!:

The reason we enable compat-mode by default is so that the syntax just
works for notable older documents like the AsciiDoc User Guide and the Git
guide and man pages that use two-line section titles. It was a compromise
to prevent unnecessary disruption for these influential projects.
