3.4. Pseudo-algorithm
http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-multicol/#pseudo-algorithm
says:

"
(19)  if (column-width != auto) and (column-count != auto) then
(20)    N := min(column-count, floor((available-width + column-gap) /
(column-width + column-gap)))
(21)    W := ((available-width + column-gap) / N) - column-gap;
"

So, in the
http://test.csswg.org/suites/css3-multicol/nightly-unstable/html4/multicol-fill-000.htm
test, each column (computed) width would be 133.33333px but what about
their used width?

------------

"
Example XII

div {
  width: 100px;
  column-width: 45px;
  column-gap: 0;
  column-rule: none;
}

There is room for two 45px wide columns inside the 100px wide element.
In order to fill the available space the actual column width will be
increased to 50px.
"
3.1 'column-width'
http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-multicol/#cw

but what happens if the div's width is set to 101px in that example? How
wide is going to be both/each columns?
