Section 12.1 states:

   The page feature allows use of the page-sequence and
   column-set-sequence flow object classes and related features.

   The multi-column feature allows use of column-sets containing more
   than one column.  This implies the page feature.

   The nested-column-set feature allows use of a column-set-sequence
   flow object with a column-set-sequence flow object ancestor.  This
   implies the multi-column and page features.

page, multi-column, and nested-column-set are among the features
listed under "DSSSL Options not required in DSSSL Online" in the
original dsssl-o application profile, so they weren't on the initial
short-list for implementation in Jade (however useful they would have
been).

Jade's extension for the RTF backend gives simple-minded access to
Word's column control.
