multiple <steps> elements in general task

["Brzeski, Corinne (GE Healthcare, consultant)" <Corinne.Brzeski@ge.com>]

Hello,

 

I’d like to suggest a change in language to the text on

http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/v1.2/os/spec/langref/steps.html

 

The note on that page says

“Note: Beginning with DITA 1.2, the general task model allows multiple <steps> and <steps-unordered> elements. However, the default task model in the OASIS distribution (known as strict task) continues to allow only one <steps> or one <steps-unordered> element.”

 

The first statement in the note appears to be untrue. We have been unsuccessful in adding multiple <steps> elements to a general task. Our vendors confirm that this is not possible.

 

Can the committee please revise the language reference to eliminate this confusion?

 

Thank you,

Corinne
