Description

Issue raised in March 2013 by @dbaron

I think almost all, if not all, of the references in http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-multicol/ to paged vs. continuous media should instead be references to fragmented vs. continuous contexts. In other words, I think essentially everything in the specification that says it applies to paged media should also apply inside of a multi-column element, inside of regions, etc.

(http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-break/#fragmentation-model defines the term "fragmentation context". I'm essentially using "in a fragmented context" to mean anything that's inside a "fragmentation context", and "in a continuous context" to mean anything that's not.)

There is a suggested text change in this response which I don't think was edited into the draft. Any further comments from @dbaron or anyone else?
