This functionality was in an early draft of the multi-column CSS3 module (see http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/WD-css3-multicol-20010118/#floating). I would guess that it was one of the things "left out [because they] proved difficult to implement" (http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2005Dec/0083.html); though of course this is an extrememly common form of floating image in multi-column documents, so I'm sure that a future version will try to add support for it (perhaps waiting until the existing css3-multicol spec has become a recommendation). Can anyone comment on the above speculated plans for the feature? I have some experience in implementing this sort of thing, and will discuss the results of that once people are interested in looking at this area again. pjrm.
