If a column contains a relatively positioned inline element that extends across multiple lines, and its relative positioning pushes its bottom edge below the end of a column, how would you break it vertically? If the answer is "slice it visually", i.e. allow a line to be cut in half along the horizontal axis, I wouldn't consider that any "safer to use" than what Firefox/IE/Opera have implemented. Has anyone got any actual use-cases for vertical relative positioning in multicol? The only thing I can think of off the top of my head is adjusting vertical positioning within a line, i.e. some kind of superscript/subscript hack, and for that use-case you definitely don't want the positioned stuff to move to the next column.
