This doesn't really make sense to me - neither the proposed text here,
nor what the spec currently says.

    <div style="columns:3; column-rule:1px solid; column-fill:auto; orphans:0; widows:0;">
      <div style="break-after:page;">line<br>line<br>line</div>
      <div style="break-after:page;">line<br>line<br>line</div>
      <div style="break-after:page;">line<br>line<br>line</div>
    </div>

Should we really forcefully balance the columns on the two first pages
here?
