Its a common misunderstanding, a2x is simply a script that runs the
toolchains.

I think you can do it from a2x with:

a2x --dblatex-opts="-b xetex" test.adoc

and you can set a2x options inside the asciidoc source, see
http://asciidoc.org/a2x.1.html which will bring you back to "a2x
test.adoc" and you will never forget the dblatex option :)
