BuildID:    2001050515

Colums properties like 
<div style="columns: 2; column-gap: 50px;
   column-rule: 1px solid black">
are ingnored.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enter <div style="columns: 2; column-gap: 50px;
   column-rule: 1px solid black">...</div>
2.
3.

Actual Results:  No columns.

Expected Results:  2 columns with column-rule.
I believe multiple columns are CSS3, not CSS2.
columns are css3.  setting status to new, but unless this blocks internal mozilla 
code this will probably not be in for a bit... Full support for CSS1/CSS2 is more 
important.  Helpwanted.

Summary: CSS2: columns property is not rendered → CSS3: columns property is not rendered
Columns could be CSS 3 if CSS 3 was already a specification... For the moment,
multi-columns in CSS are only a Working Draft [1], a work in progress.

Tagging [RFE] and pushing to Future. Cc:ing Marc Attinasi for his information.

Maybe it should be checked if multi-columns can cause changes in the concepts
of the rendering engine - if yes, preparations should be made.
Assigning pierre's remaining Style System-related bugs to myself.

I know this is probably very far from the list of priorities, but I'm voting for
this one. My rationale:

<li>the amazing number of ugly hacks people have been using to emulate this effect

<li>and the fact that an experimental implementation would help this particular
module of css3 move forward - it seems to be quite stalled.
Why 'helpwanted'? The draft isn't even correct yet. Look for example to chapter
10 (<http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-multicol/#floating>).
