Re: [dita-comment] multiple <steps> elements in general task

Dear Corinne:

    

    Thanks for your comment. The DITA TC has removed that non-normative
    note from the spec topic in question.

    

    
Best,

      Kris

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
