It's not that a note element can't be located in a step, it's that that
a note element cannot be located *directly* in a step element. Note can
be located in an info element, which can itself be in a step element.

So <step><cmd>some text</cmd><info><note><p>Here's the note
text</p></note></info></step>

The idea is that the note is part of the step, but is not part of the
cmd text.

You can always customize your DTD if you are so inclined, as well.
