Looks ok to me. If you wish to avoid dimming colors with
\displaystepcontents only to enhance them again with
\activatestep, you can use the optional arguments of
\step for controlling activation:
\liststepwise[\let\hidestepcontents=\hidedimmed
\let\activatestep=\highlightenhanced]
{
\step[][\boolean{firstactivation}]{\item we ``discover'' the structure of the
document (DTD)}
\step[][\boolean{firstactivation}]{\item SGML tools (nsgmls, yasp) help us to
correct the source}
\step[][\boolean{firstactivation}]{\item we can produce the ``printing''
markup again}
\step[][\boolean{firstactivation}]{\item we can use SGML format for other
applications}
}
Of course, you can hide the optional argument in a
selfdefined macro (item can go in there, too, like
\newcommand{\myitem}[1]{\step[][\boolean{firstactivation}]{\item#1}}
).

If you want _all_ colors to go to green, use
\hidevanish instead of \hidedimmed and set
\renewcommand{\vanishcolor}{green}.
If you want different defined colors to go
to different shades of green, redefine the
dimmed variants (dtextcolor, dmathcolor, ...)
accordingly (using \definecolor or \replacecolor).
