As I said, I believe region balancing should exist and behave like column balancing, which would also only balance the two columns on page 20 (unless you had forced breaks on earlier pages that caused them to have less content, in which case you might balance on those pages as well). In nested pagination contexts (columns on pages, etc.), balancing only occurs per-page. It doesn't cross pages.
