I believe that columset mechanism (based on pouring \parshape from 
paragraph to paragraph and output routine support) can do it. Even in 
the manual is an example. But I share your doubts in case of some 
complex pages (floats, margins, marks). But plain text should be OK.

I am curious about the practical experience.
