Maybe if the attribute is something like step-element-prefixes (and not 
general "extension" elements) the same semantics of p:step can be 
achieved (orhaving a p:is-step attribute added to the non-standard 
components to flag the same behavior).

Or did you thought on allowing extensions to be possible to use other 
than steps? Am I missing something?
