Fwd: [dita-users] Multiple steps inside a task?

This is on the errata list and fixed in SVN - that paragraph about allowing multiple steps is removed.
I tried to get the reference link for the discussion and update, but the OASIS wiki seems to be down (can't get any pages to load).

Subject: [dita] Fwd: [dita-users] Multiple steps inside a task? Sent by: <> 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
