Very interesting, I have seen something similar (now somewhat outdated) recently at http://13thparallel.com . However, what turned me off was a lack of widow-orphan control, the layout nut in me can't allow widows and orphans. There are other great features in this script, do you have any plans to implement widow-orphan control?
It is also very nice that this is not a framework-dependent script, but I think this would be awesome to write as a streamlined jQuery function - jQuery will take care of cross-browser quirks on its own (camelCase, cloning, event binding). Plus, that way you could unobtrusively add properties without breaking validation. Hmm... also, are HTML tags allowed in the text? I am always looking for dynamic layout options, having text flow between columns is something layout designers have been using for years in print, it's about time to have a proper representation on screen. Nice work.
