One of the issues with this technique: you can't use the 'columns' as a containing block for absolute positioned elements. Another issue: width on a 'table-cell' is more like 'min-width' than 'width'. The cell can expand in width if it contains e.g. long unbreakable text strings (or strings of text with white-space:pre). This can eventually be controlled by wrapping such content in a 'overflow:auto' wrapper, but not always.
I didn't test Thierry's layout, but this page, setting widths on each DIV that is set to display table-cell, seems to behave as expected with respect to overflowed content:
