They aren't formalized into steps, though.

Yeah. That's exactly what I mean. In the B/X, BECMI, AD&D, OSRIC, and OSE rules those steps are laid out. I think it would be helpful if they were included in a future edition of Hyperborea. 

For example:

OSRIC on page 145 notes the following steps for Dungeon Crawls... (Which is virtually the same as OSE). 

1. Wandering Monster Check
2. Statement of Actions
3. Encounters
4. Book-Keeping

And on page 150, OSRIC notes the steps for Wilderness Hex-Crawls (see page X23 in Cook-Marsh):

1. Weather
2. Navigation
3. Wandering Monster Check
4. Move and Act
5. Encounter
6. Camp
7. Wandering Monster Check & Encounter

And OSE, (from the SRD), has steps for an Encounter (page B23 in Moldvay) which has not yet turned into combat: 

1. Surprise
2. Encounter distance
3. Initiative
4. Actions and response
5. Conclusion

Now, I know these steps and so will most of players familiar with either the Basic or Advanced lines of D&D. But I think that newish players coming from 3e-5e and looking into Hyperborea for the first time could use these actually in the Hyperborea books.

Also: I'd rather have more Hyperborea setting material and supplements from Jeff and co than yet another edition of the game. Perhaps the absent material can be homed in an Unearthed Arcana type expansion?
