I also like the replacement some of else clauses by a min() and max() functions. There is just one mistake in the alternative pseudo-code: The min() on line 32 should be a max(). Strictly speaking, the note under the algorithm isn't correct either. If both 'column-width' and 'column-count' are set on an element with a known width, then 'column-count' indeed doesn't set the number of columns, but it isn't completely ignored either: it still serves as an upper bound.
