I see you already solved this to your liking, which is fine, but did you
ever try using step titles?
<procedure>
<step>
<title>Do the first thing</title>
<para>What we'll do next in a conceptual
overview, and why.</para>
</step>
<step>
<title>Do the next thing</title>
<para>...</para>
</step>
</procedure>
The rendering on this isn't *exactly* what you seem to be looking for, but
should be relatively easy to customize. The benefit to this approach is
that it keeps the semantic meaning of a procedure intact.
