This capability existed in older versions of the spec. It was removed because it is easier to implement spanning all columns than to implement spanning only some columns. The intent was to reintroduce the feature in css4-multicol. The behavior of overflow columns in conjunction with column-span: all makes me wonder, though, if it's really that much easier, since the newly-required rendering is very similar to implementing partial spans. ~fantasai
