For the Debian (and Cygwin/Windows) setup, installation of said file is specified (see for example the file list in the suggested package: https://packages.debian.org/jessie/all/docbook-xml/filelist).

If this is missing in the macOS instructions, then that needs fixing.


And what about Red Hat, Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, DragonFly BSD, Joe Bob's Shiny New Linux, etc., etc., etc.?

Documenting this on a platform-by-platform basis isn't the right answer.
On RedHat/Fedora asciidoc depends on docbook-style-xsl which provides the files in question.
I guess that either the former doesn't always require the latter or, on some systems, the dependencies are broken (or the packaging system in question doesn't support dependencies--do any of those exist any more?).
