And, in another message:

The proposal is then to change this sentence:
Content in the normal flow that extends into column gaps (e.g., long
words or images) is clipped in the middle of the column gap.
http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-multicol/#overflow
to
Floated or in-flow content that extends into column gaps (e.g., long
words or images) is clipped in the middle of the column gap.
This makes sense to me; I kinda think of floats as being in the flow
(although pushed to the side of the river, it's not airlifted away
like abspos) and it makes sense to treat them like in-flow content.
Any objections?
