If they do something first, like step out, they trigger your Wait, etc.
I don't read it as particularly indicating the use of a novel maneuver. But what it does say is that if neither party chooses to Wait, there can be a Quick Contest to determine who acts first. Given that neither party is waiting, I don't see what that could mean during a turn sequence. What happens if the person whose turn it isn't wins that contest?

EDIT: Actually, on further thought, I'm not sure what the roll does if the active character makes it/wins the contest, either.

Erm, no, since the book doesn't really do anything to suggest Wait maneuvers on the attacker's part, at least to me.

I wouldn't have blinked if I thought it did use Step and Wait. It should be allowed, though if RAW starts using it it ought to be official first.
