I know that we've discussed this multiple times, and I thought
that we had corrected this in the spec language for DITA 1.3.
(General task does NOT permit multiple <steps> or
<steps-unordered> elements, and the written specification
should reflect that.)
Is this an instance where we corrected the language in the
archSpec topics, but neglected to do so in the Language Reference
topics?

Hi all,
According to the specification text
http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/dita/v1.3/cs01/part3-all-inclusive/langRef/technicalContent/steps.html#steps
***
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.
***
multiple steps elements should be allowed in a general
task.
However, both the 1.2 and 1.3 DTD/schemas allow maximum
one step (it is
an optional element inside the taskbody).
Is this a known issue? If yes, then maybe there is an
errata that
clarifies it? Otherwise it should be reported to the DITA
TC I guess.
Best Regards,
George
