The <stepresult> element provides
information on the expected outcome of a step. If a user interface
is being documented, the outcome could describe a dialog box opening
or the appearance of a progress indicator. Step results are useful
to assure a user that they are on track, but should not be used for
every step as this quickly becomes tedious.
