My example would be a task where the actions are not described in detail but
in generalities, e.g. :
<steps-informal>
<p>Put the soil in the container any old way. It doesn't really matter how
you do it as long as it is at least 12 cm deep. Once the soil is in place,
water appropriately and wait.</p>
</steps-informal>
