            https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/201707/msg00045.html (Anderson, 21 July 2017) 
Amber; users are always asking for this; sometimes folks have very complex needs, and they want to reuse a step in more than one task, and it's at steps level in one place, and at substeps level in another, and they can't conref it.
Bob; I'd like to see this come on as a stage one proposal; of course, there would be some problems, in particular, what do we do with substeps? 
Tom; is the content model of steps and substeps the same?
Dawn; steps allow some content that's not allowed in substeps.
Tom; how easy / hard would it be to make a transform from substeps to steps?
Amber; substeps is a subset of steps, so it wouldn't be very hard. 
Tom; does anyone have any objections to making this a stage 1 proposal?
[no objections]
[will vote on making it stage 1 at subsequent meeting]
Bob; I'll make sure this is on the agenda for the next techcomm SC meeting, this is really within their purview.
Tom; Kris might want to postpone making this a stage 1 proposal until after next techcomm SC meeting; will check with her.
