Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-multicol] Overflow in the block direction for continuous media (#2923)

The feature is absolutely needed, but it begs one comment: allowing text to flow in the block direction is equivalent to assigning paged media behavior to continuous media for the purpose of multicols (in paged media, columns must overflow in the "block" direction).

Wouldn't it be both more general and easier to allow CSS to assign paged media behavior to continuous media? This would well support the use of CSS to create interactive presentations (slides) or newspaper like layouts, on screen; and it would immediately solve the multicol issue.

By the way, controlling whether columns have the same specs when moving to the next "page/block" remains an open question.
