Huh? In that case, nothing prevents Waiting and Attacking at the same time. Now, that doesn't seem to make sense.
A state-of-conditional-Waiting is when a character does nothing unless the trigger event registers. If you're placing the Step outside the conditional block of the turn, then it's not part of the conditional block.

Otherwise the following situation becomes possible:
Opponents both have a Reach 1 weapon.
A declares a Wait, opting to whack B if B steps into Reach 1.
B does a Step And Wait, with the wait condition being 'when A is in reach' and the action being 'whack A'.
As B Steps, B becomes in range, and B's Wait is triggered, allowing to contest A's priority.
This way, B gets the best of both worlds, with no drawback.
