Is there any technique for presenting multi-column output that does not have some problem?
Frames, you say are out.
I've seem recommendations elsewhere not to use tables a layout tool but only for real tables of data because using them for layout is reputed to confuse screen readers.
There is a technique that seems to put content into floating objects but this has the drawback that when the window gets shrunk to a smaller size than the designer had in mind instead of degrading gracefully, for example by wrapping text that would otherwise have been on one line, objects get drawn on top of each other making the whole thing an unreadable mess.
