How about:
h2 { page-break-after: avoid;}
h2 + p { orphans: 2;}
That should keep the h2 and the p on the same page, and would ensure at least two lines of the p would appear before either a page or column break, right?
Wrt the use case for avoiding both page and column breaks, there are many:
o don't break after a heading
o don't break between an image and its annotation
o avoid breaking inside a table
o etc...
Best wishes,
Melinda
