chharvey has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts:
== [css-multicol] allow percentages for `column-gap` ==
Please allow percentage values for `column-gap`. An example use case would be:
```css
.article {
column-count: 3; /* each 30% */
column-gap: 5%;
}
```
'Percentages' would be from the calculated width of the containing block.

As I understand it, percentages are not allowed on `column-width` because using `column-count` is preferred for a fluid layout. This makes sense, and I agree, but it sounds like a case of "we're disallowing this feature because it's bad practice." I'm not sure how that fits into CSSWG values.
