My somewhat dim memory is that this also allows for task content that is
prose rather than a single-step <steps> element.

That is, a task is a task if it describes how to do something, regardless of
how that description is structured. Forcing task to always use <steps> is
inappropriately strict for the base DITA specification.

Of course your specialization task can impose whatever constraints you
consider appropriate.
