I don't think there's anything that supports a Ready being used as an Attack or something. There's no examples of Ready doing anything remotely like what you are saying.

To me it seems that Wait is a very specific maneuver triggered by a specific event, that demands all the character's attention and no movement at all. I think the confusion comes from its name, and from the fact that in 3rd. it was different.

You can move with a Wait if the triggered maneuver allows movement, by RAW.

Really, just allowing a Step and Wait that can turn into an Attack or All-Out-Attack, solves the problem.
