Steps taken during a dribble are not traveling, including several that are sometimes taken when a high dribble takes place. It is not possible for a player to travel during a dribble.

...it perplexes me how often I see palming called on a player who loses 'control' of their dribble just enough to have to 'chase' the ball in mid-air with no advantage gained and the ball NOT coming to rest.

But, of course, it is pales in comparison to the amount of times that a traveling violation called on a player who never has player control.
