Hm, but what if you wanted those columns balanced? I think Morten's
case is one we haven't thought about yet.
Another case to think about is this one:
<div style="columns: 2">
Some content
<img title="Very Big Image">
More content.
</div>
Here's the content:

Let's say we're paginating, and the first page looks like this because the
image doesn't quite fit and gets pushed down:
~~~~~~~~~ ........
~~~~~~~~~ . .
~~~~~~~~~ . . <-- blank spot where image would have gone, but it didn't fit
~~~~~~~~~ . .

page break

Should the text in the first page be balanced across the columns?
It's the same question, except in this case the break isn't forced.
