Added precisions by Wolfgang Schuster from the mailing list on Monday 18 May 2009
* column sets : the flexible way for varying columns or other complex tasks
* streams : set different text synchronized side-by-side (e.g. bilingual editions)
Columns and columnset are two different mechanism two produce a document
with text and two or more columns.
* The columns mechanism is the older one with limited control about
the placement of figures but allows you to mix one column and multicolumns
text on a page.
* Columnsets are a new version of the column mechanism with more control
about the placement of figures and other features like spanned columns etc.
(look at the manual for more) and is better suited for magazine-like layouts
