Ok, I was lazy and didn't read the whole paper :) Change my last to "... the results are not diagrams tailored for the specific use-case, but perfectly usable and understandable." It is unlikely that something with such a specific use-case would be part of Asciidoc itself, its also a separate package in Latex. But thats exactly what filters are for, plugins that can provide specific layout for blocks of content, there are filters that highlight code samples, music notation, graphs, diagrams, and even render latex. You could develop a bitfield filter to interpret a suitable syntax into (x)html(5) but controlling layout in docbook is probably going to be harder, it may have to be an image. You might even be able to have the filter (mis)use latex with the bitfield package to generate the rendered output.
