Isn't it your view that each <th> represents a column? Then there are 3 columns. Identified correctly in the summary. Per HTML 4, these 3 columns make up a colgroup: "all tables contain a single implicit colgroup"[1][2] Any difference in the HTML 5 draft that I missed?

Please note that it is mostly a technical demo.
