One of two possibilities:
(1) Something similar to the export mechanism available for agendas
-- i.e., use htmlize on 'C-x C-w'.  Because column view is an
overlay, this may be harder than I imagine.

(2) An export mechanism that would generate a "pretty" HTML table
(to look like Scott's omni outliner example) starting from the
current heading.

Column view is too new for me to have a good usage scenario at this
point.  However one think I've thought of is using it to maintain
and publish a "points-of-contact" list for my group at work.
