1/ Based on the most recent WebKit nightly builds (aka future
Safari), adding {position:relative} to each column is a (possible)
work around.
This of course
* is only true at the time of writing (WebKit is not a release
version, but beta software; things may change ...)
* is only tested with all the simple test files we've used. What
happens in a complex construction is left your powers of
investigation :-)
That workaround doesn't cause problems for Gecko based browsers, as
far as I could see.
2/ I wouldn't be too surprised if Safari (Webkit) supports XBL
bindings as well. D.Hyatt was a co-author of the original Mozilla
docs. Although the test file didn't work.
