I hate to drag this out further, but there what if there was more to
it than display? What if the 3 columns were wider than a physical
piece of paper? With 3 column divs and <li> elements, you would be
able to use a print CSS style that simply stacks them, keeping them in
order.

Or, what if the list maybe something the user would want to highlight
and copy/paste to something else? If they want it in the 1,2,3,n
order, the tabular table would not work.

By doing a table to simply do a 3 column display of lists, you are
creating a table-based layout. And last time I checked that is code
smell.

Just some things to think about.
