When is traveling traveling?

A moving, or dribbling, player is allowed to gather the ball with one foot on the floor and then jump (often splitting two opponents and other times just getting past a single opponent with a *Mother-may-I* leap) and land simultaneously on both feet, from that landing the player may not have a pivot foot.

I understand that much of it. But these days the players seem to be taking their allotted 2 steps (after gathering the ball), then landing on both feet, then jumping off of two feet for their shot. In the past when a player gathered the ball and left the floor after his second step--regardless of whether the last step was off of one foot or two--he had to get rid of the ball before landing again.

The jumpstop move seems to allow a player to take his 2 steps and land (on 2 feet) without it being a violation. It seems like a clear travel to me, but that's not how it's usually called. I'm just trying to understand why the 2-steps-then-jumpstop isn't a violation.
