Perhaps, but 1) it would be a hack, and 2) it wouldn't allow you to do
something like "one-column in the upper half, two-column in the lower half",
only "first paragraph one-column, second paragraph two-column".

My concern is with the column-set-model-map characteristic. it is explained
as "whenever an area from this column-set-sequence is placed in an area
whose nearest ancestor of type page-region uses the specified page-model,
then the specified column-set-model shall be used." Since all page-regions
of a page "use" the same page-model (I'd rather say they are specified in
the same page-model), you only get one column-set-model per page. I don't 
think this is the intended meaning.
