> In 10 years, we'll look back on today and think about how barbaric and stupid it was that we didn't have re-flowable text in multi-box CSS layouts or absolute control of typefaces on the web.
CSS column flow will help a lot. However I hope print-minded-fixed designers will not end up flooding the net with rigid fixed-width designs mainly accessibility, edit ability, customisability is important in the word of flexible contents. papers or older forms of fixed rigid tech mediums have so many drawbacks, which ended up being a long exploitation area for designer hacks. in short I am for css-reflowing columns but i am against paper.
I believe that's the purpose of this W3C Candidate Recommendation: http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-multicol/
I agree that it seems silly that we still don't have columns in html, especially considering how wide monitors have gotten.
However, I'm not Adobe has the answer.
