Marisa Peacock - CSS3 With Mobile Focus "Addressing issues of multi-column layout (deemed a design trend to watch in 2009) in CSS, it builds on the CSS3 Box model module and adds functionality to flow the content of an element into multiple columns. Essentially, multi-column layouts provide a degree of flexibility allowing content to flow from one column to another. As well, it allows developers to remove presentation tables from layouts so that text can be more easily read and accessed from mobile devices. The W3C is also focused on the mobile platform as well, as demonstrated by this past May's Mobile Web Best Practices Working Group, which focused on their Mobile Web Initiative for developing best practices of delivery and accessibility of mobile web applications."
"The last time we covered the W3C's efforts to address CSS 3 it was in relation to typography and web fonts. Now, the same Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group has published a Last Call Working Draft of CSS3 module: Multi-column layout."
