I agree, it makes sense to have widows/orphans behave the same way on column breaks as on page breaks.
Note that since on multicolumn page a page break is also a column break, these settings control breaking behavior across both column and page boundaries.
If we wanted to control this at column level independently we'd need separate properties, which I hope we can avoid (although I don't have strong feelings about it).

The newer draft doesn't say anything about 'widows' and 'orphans',
perhaps it should. The definition of the 'widows' and 'orhpans'
properties only refers to pages, not columns. It seems reasonable that
'widows' and 'orphans' also apply to columns so that one could write:
div.section {
columns: 2
widows: 3;
orphans: 3;
}
