Confusion about 1.3.1 and 1.3.5 failure techniques

I created a failure technique for 1.3.1: Failure due to using space 
characters to create multiple columns in simple text content [1].  I 
create an example of using spaces to modify a paragraph into two columns 
format (similar to what a newspaper does).  But, when I go to 1.3.5 I see 
a failure titled, "Failure due to creating multiple columns of text in a 
plain text document by including lines from both columns, separated by a 
tab character, in a single text line. "  This is exactly the failure that 
I created for 1.3.1. Is the failure for 1.3.1 supposed to be about data 
columns only?  Does it matter? Can we use the same technique for both? 

suggestions welcome!
