Ok I see. I was approaching this more from the syntax that my stories can express rather than what my code does. However from these replies and a re-read of the cucumber wiki I can see that any step that requires the (foo||bar) construct is by definition a conjunction and can be broken into smaller steps. However we only have 'And' available in stories, do we need 'Or'?
