Afaics, what I am proposing is less complex (than many special case css terms), the relationships are one-to-one explicit, and very general: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2010Oct/0408.html I suppose maybe one could even implement the multi-column specification in my generalized model too.
