But we could could change the spec to say "Floated or in-flow > content that extends …" Are you saying you intend to change the spec so that there will be no way to have an element overflow across column gaps anymore? I realise that nobody other than Firefox actually supported this, but I was hoping the other browsers would fix their implementations at some point. If you really wanted to clip a float, you could always wrap it in something with an overflow:hidden, or maybe use the clip property in some way. However, there's no way to unclip something after the renderer has forcibly clipped it. Regards James
