<li>Clarified the spec to explain that a spanning element is taken out-of-flow, leaving a forced break. Added the paragraph, "A spanning element is taken out-of-flow, leaving a forced break. This does not affect the painting order of the spanning element." <a href="https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/1072#issuecomment-468087733">Resolved 28 Feb 2019</a>.</li>

<li>Moved the definition of the 'column-gap' property to [[CSS3-ALIGN]] and added a paragraph detailing the specifics of 'column-gap' in multicol:
1439
1444
<br />"In a multi-column formatting context the used value of normal for the column-gap property is 1em. This ensures columns are readable when the initial values are used. If there is a column rule between columns, it will appear in the middle of the gap." <a href="https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/3641">Resolved 4 June 2019.</a></li>
