Suggestion about multi-column

Hello,

I've read the proposal for multi-column layout in CSS, and I think that
there could be a better way to implement it.
I think that a style like "overflow-to" would be better.
Example :
<table>
<tr>
<td style="overflow-to:col2">(...)</td>
<td id="col2"></td>
</tr>
</table>
(there I use a table, but positionning could be better)
The HTML displayer distribute the text between the two paragraphs.

It can be used with more columns, like this :

<table>
<tr>
<td style="overflow-to:col2">(...)</td>
<td id="col2" style="overflow-to:col3"></td>
<td id="col3"></td>
</tr>
</table>

(or perhaps "overflow-to:col2,col3" is better)

This style could be used for other things :

<p style="overflow-to:par2">(...)</p>
<h3>"Cite"</h3>
<p id=par2></p>
"Cite" is a line inserted in the text.

And so and so...

I think that this idea could be developped in a better manner, but what do
you about it ?

Thanks for reading this, my bad english shouldn't make it easier to
understand.
