Nevertheless my points are valid, and reading the comments I see what is 
the problem.

You are messing two concepts:the software that implements the document 
format and the document format. The software may be open-source, but the 
document is not an open format document if there is no specification 
anywhere.

I had written an implementation that parses a few things I needed. I wanted 
to implement the full specification and publish it as open-source, so it 
would enlarge the ecosystem. But I can't do that, or at least I'm going to, 
it if I have dig in a specification buried in the code. 

What I mean is: Discuss publicly the specification, write it down, and then 
everybody can implement it. Let asciidoctor be the reference implementation 
as Libreoffice is the current reference implementation of OpenDocument 
format. I think what I say is sensible. That is how usually software is 
written, I think. 

Asciidoc is not a piece of software, it is a document format. Come on, 
write the specification down. The current status doesn't encourage to write 
implementations.
