Denis: 

Thanks, that is very helpful starting point which proves that it is
possible! 

I have tried the suggestions there, but, so far: 

        * I cannot adjust the gap ("distance" or "gutter") between the columns
        * It seems impossible to turn-on a column-separating ruled line
        * It would be useful to have a method for controlling orphan / widow
behaviour (such that a footnote in the left column doesn't spill-over as
just a single line into the 2nd column).

Any comments or ideas?
