RE: [css3-multicol] pseudo-algorithm

Well, yet another option is to honor both column count and column gap and to simply produce overflow. That may not be that bad -- in a way you would treat column-gap as padding (it never shrinks and it can overflow).

Also, if a column-min-width is eventually introduced it makes perfect sense to have 
	
	min-content-width = min-column-width * column-count + column-gap * (column-count - 1) 

multicol content just can't be more narrow than that...

In pracice, this would probably be discouragement to using column-count (at least for values of, say, 4 or more) and a corresponding encouragement to use 'column-width'. That's good, I think.
