Is there a widely accepted guideline among AsciiDoc users governing
how many dashes should delimit these blocks, other than "at least
four, with the opening and closing counts matching"?  If so, what is
it?  We see five, six, five, and five dashes in the proposed changes
above, and in '[PATCH 1/4]' we saw nine.  Even if varying counts are
functionally equivalent, the inconsistency is a bit distracting.

Thanks.
