Inline adoc files when they are included exactly once. Also fix language tags because this inlining gives us better information on what language the code is written in.

== Why is this an issue?
|
|
|
|
Initializing an alphanumeric field with the literal character ``++' '++``, ``++'1'++``, or ``++'0'++`` has the same effect as using the equivalent figurative constant ``++*BLANK++``, ``++*ON++``, or ``++*OFF++``, but the constant version removes ambiguity and makes the code more readable.

the ' ' literal is not to be used to represent *BLANK
