[css3-multicol] wide column-rule [overlaps | is overlapped by] adjacent column boxes ?

Hello,

Current spec version
http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/CR-css3-multicol-20110412
states:

"
If a column rule is wider than its gap, the column rule will overlap
adjacent column boxes, and possibly extend outside the box of the multicol
element.
"
http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-multicol/#column-gaps-and-rules

while Editor's draft version (Editor's Draft 22 July 2013)
states:

"
If a column rule is wider than its gap, the adjacent column boxes will
overlap the rule, and the rule may possibly extend outside the box of the
multicol element.
"
http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-multicol/#column-gaps-and-rules

Which statement is the definitive normative rule? Just asking...

For whatever it's worth, I think adjacent column boxes should overlap the
rule for accessibility-to-content reasons.
