I was only partially correct on that point. That applies because we were
originally discussing an overflow case for spanning, but in the general
case of a {column-span:all} that follows some column breaks where the
height is not constrained, then the next row of columns can go underneath.
This has no bearing on my other orthogonal point, which I re-iterate is
the spec currently makes no restriction on where in the vertical (block)
direction content may span prior columns.
