Almost a  year ago, I asked about the Asciidoc Standard 
<https://groups.google.com/d/msg/asciidoc/wj9kjl8gwC4/Ol5HA2RyDgAJ>, 
because I'm writing a parser in Pascal. Since then, little has been done.

Look at markua format, It is a good markup language. It has a clear 
specification <http://markua.com/>: Elements structure, what is valid, what 
is optional, what is compulsory, what is free for implementor, and 
precedence of rules. It removes any ambiguity and solves any doubt. 

I have already implemented the full markua specification parser that 
translates into FB2 and html (except courses stuff)

In fact, I asked about specification already in 2016 
<https://groups.google.com/d/msg/asciidoc/5tJHg6UQAT0/BMaIB5EAAQAJ>. That 
is over three years ago. I'm afraid that it means that specification is not 
an issue for asciidoc/asciidoctor maintainers. The message *is "Use my 
implementation. I will post changes in the list as they come out. Move on 
and don't nitpick"*. Writing Asciidoc specification should be in the top of 
your TODO list related to asciidoc. 

I don't think it is such a daunting task. You don't have to submit it to 
ISO, just a clear webpage like markua. You, programmers, probably have a 
draft of what attributes use, etc. just ordering, cleaning it up a little 
and uploading to a webpage.
