Agreed, I think. A page (a physical entity) *does* have certain
inherent characteristics (like margins, header/footer, ...) which are
layout issues.
The content/data on the page - whether presented in columns, tables,
paragraphs, or whatever, is not of that order. It seems that if we
don't keep those orders separate, OO will not be well positioned to
adapt the presentation of content to different media.
It could give us warm fuzzies to think that for those that want pages
set just so - they can, and for those who want sections or frames set
just so - they can as well. ;)
I've written some thoughts about columns in Writer pages in the
OpenOffice.org Tips 'n' Tricks blog:
