Gary, if you want to contribute patches for AsciiDoctor go for it. I simply 
don’t have time. They have basically admitted that when generating the body 
AsciiDoctor ignores the Maven Site theme, which is the root of the problem. I’m 
not even sure that their proposed solution of using an AsciiDoctor extension 
would work since the site plugin uses Doxia which, as I understand it, is 
requires Doxia modules to provide unrendered data to it so that all the HTML is 
really being generated by Doxia.

At this point I am convinced we have to switch back to Markdown or xdoc where 
Markdown doesn’t work. Either that or we abandon the site plugin to generate 
the Log4j web site.
