After all, it's just text flowing in and out of pages together with fixed containers for headers and footers. This might also provide a consistent yet flexible foundation for all things columns.
If things where so easy in TeX we won’t have the problems with text in 
columns etc. as we currently have. Changing the line distance in the 
normal text can influence also header and footer texts and frames are 
not so easy too because once a text is typeset by TeX the linebreaks are 
fixed and you can't change them.

You're not the only one who wants such a flexible mechanism are you 
descibe but let’s see what features LuaTeX provide once the access to 
the pagebuilder is available.
