There have been several proposals that use @-rules to represent regions (or slots, or frames): http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-page-template/ http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-layout Swithing to @-rules would address my primary concern. Some proposals go further to address other concerns as well: http://www.w3.org/TR/css-overflow-3/#style-of-fragments http://www.wiumlie.no/2013/gcpm/06-27.html#regions But most use cases don't need to address individual columns. I believe CSS Multicol + column-span: integer + float: top/bottom addresses most use case. The only really good use case for Regions that I can think of is the tradition newspaper layout where you have a front-page article ending in "continued on page x" -- having a receptive region on page x makes sense when recreating this classic design.
