Re: Column examples

D'oh... thanks for catching. The example I had tried to be too specific. It
looks like shorthand for columns is "<'column-width'> || <'column-count'>" vs
attempting to set both. I've updated the example and documentation to
explain as well.

[1] Updated example: http://code.webplatform.org/gist/6288803
[2] Updated example section in documentation:
http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/css/properties/columns
