Hi JoAnn,
The rationale below is to allow <ol>
and <ul> into taskbody. In other words, if someone wants to create
a task with a simple <ol> instead of the more prescriptive <steps>,
the <process> element allows them to do so.

RE: [dita] Revised content model options

Hi Michael,
The email from Alan provides
no rationale for the <process>, just shows the syntax. Let me know
if any of the minutes show the rationale or any examples. I’ve written
Alan but haven’t received a response as yet.

[dita] Revised content model options
for #12011 - Generic Task Type
I submit this message for possible discussion at today's
(11-December-2007) DITA TC meeting. Below is a summary of proposed
content models that will support proposal #12011 -- Generic Task Type.
These content models are the result of recent discussion on the DITA TC
list.
-Alan
-------------
Summary:
- Optional, repeatable <note> allowed before <cmd>
- <taskbody> allows only a single <steps> element
- New <process> element to permit <ol>/<ul> constructions
in <taskbody>
Proposed content models:
taskbody:
(prereq?,
context?,
(steps | steps-unordered | process),
result?,
example?,
postreq?)
(Issue: allow <section> before and after <steps>?)
steps/steps-unordered:
Support <section> between steps:
(section?, step)+
step:
Support optional, repeatable <note> before cmd:
(note*,
cmd,
(info | substeps | tutorialinfo | stepxmp | choicetable | choices)*,
stepresult?)
Issue: allow <itemgroup> in <step>?
process:
(section?, (ol | ul))+
Issue: this would allow multiple ol/ul elements.
