On the subject of possibly changing the pseudo-algorithm [1] in multicol,
I wrote:

I've tested implementations to see if they enter lines 06-07.
Here's a snippet from my test case [2]:
float: left;
width: auto;
column-count: 3;
column-width: 300px;
I've tested this in three shipping implementations: IE (in the Win8
preview), Opera 12.01, Prince 8.1 rev 3. These have interoperability:
the column-* settings are honored even when the multicol element is
wider than its containing block.
Therefore, I don't think we should remove this part of the
specification.
I still believe we should define more clearly what
(available-width==unknown) means, and perhaps avoid the word
"available-width" altogether.
