<substeps>The <substeps> element allows you to break a step down into a
series of separate actions, and should be used only if necessary. Try to describe the steps of a
task in a single level of steps. If you need to use more than one level of
<substep> nesting, you should probably rewrite the task to simplify
it.
See appendix for information about this element in OASIS document type shells.
