Summary "column-count" property ignored when printing

The "column-count" css property, used with the webkit vendor prefix (-webkit-column-count), seems to be ignored when printing. I think the assumption is being made that the contents of the page being printed would better fit in a single-column layout on a printed sheet of paper, but that is definitely not always the case, and when it's not, it's frustrating that the property is being ignored. I could be way off in my thinking though, but I am trying to achieve this two-column layout for printing as well, and the `column-count` property does a much better job for what I need overall than making the elments `inline-block` and `float:left`. For an example visit this test page I threw together (which has ZERO print-specific styles applied to it) in safari and File>Print to see how the `column-count` property is ignored: http://mattsoria.com/test/webkit-column-count
