[csswg-drafts] [css-multicol-1] Margin collapse of first-child element is unintuitive (#6170)

== [css-multicol-1] Margin collapse of first-child element is unintuitive ==
Hi gang,  in my 17+ years of using CSS I never needed to research 'margin collapse', today was different.

I came across an annoyance with the current implementation of the column spec. This may be related to #2203 however the supplied demonstrations were confusing - so I created an intuitive demonstration of the issue here:

Ideally, there shouldn't be a difference in the margin (or collapse of margin) of the first-child element within a multi-column layout.

After reviewing the spec (mostly searching for instances of 'collapse' and 'first child') the only relevant content I found was [Example 9](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-multicol-1/#example-88e557c8).

What are the next steps?
