I don't think this should go into HTML. I you want to view text in multiple
columns than instruct your browser to format it thus.

Yes most browsers are broken, they should have a max line length for breaking
paragraphs. But this is a browser issue, not a HTML issue.

I look forward to the day when there is a lot of really useful information out
there. But multiple coulumns seems to me to be clinging to the paper metaphor.

The fact that computer are set up in page metaphores is interesting. I doubt if it will change. Any large section of text is much more readable in columns. We HTML users need to recognize that irrufftable fact.
