Strange ... I think you're saying 'yes' in the rest of your message. > margins on the in-flows we'll get a layout more like: > > 1111 2222 > 1111 1111 2222 > 1111 2222 > 1111 2222 2222 > > (not dealing with the bottom margin of the last-in-flow of the second > paragraph here, since I'm not quite sure what effect it would have).

Summary: 1) An element's top margin is only applied to its first in flow. 2) An element's bottom margin is only applied to its last in flow. 3) The bottom margin of an element above and adjacent to a page or column break is treated as zero. 4) The top margin of an element below and adjacent to a page or column break is treated as zero. 5) Element margins may collapse with page margins (only relevant for the document root element, given 3 and 4). 6) The margins of a columnated element may collapse with the margins of its children (only relevant for the first or last chilldren, given 3 and 4).
