My apologies, Patrick ... when I ran my test I had loaded the wrong result 
into Acrobat and assumed it was the one that I created by RenderX.

I have one stylesheet for my book publishing that is interchangeable 
between Antenna House and RenderX so when I saw the same result I didn't 
think that I had accidentally loaded the same file twice.

That would be an extension to XSL-FO that only supports a single column 
specification for a given simple page geometry.

Sorry again for misleading you with my incorrect answer.
