tablelayout - How is a CSS "display: table-column" supposed to work?

Given the following HTML and CSS, I see absolutely nothing in my browser (Chrome and IE latest at time of writing). Everything collapses down to 0x0 px. Why?

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <style type="text/css">
        section { display: table; height: 100%; background-color: grey; }

        #colLeft { display: table-column; height: 100%; background-color: green; }
        #colRight { display: table-column; height: 100%; background-color: red; }

        #row1 { display: table-row; height: 100%; }
        #row2 { display: table-row; height: 100%; }
        #row3 { display: table-row; height: 100%; }

        #cell1 { display: table-cell; height: 100%; }
        #cell2 { display: table-cell; height: 100%; }
        #cell3 { display: table-cell; height: 100%; }
    </style>
</head>
<body>
    <section>
        <div id="colLeft">
            <div id="row1">
                <div id="cell1">
                    AAA
                </div>
            </div>
            <div id="row2">
                <div id="cell2">
                    BBB
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
        <div id="colRight">
            <div id="row3">
                <div id="cell3">
                    CCC
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </section>
</body>
</html>

The CSS table model is based on the HTML table model http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/tables.html

A table is divided into ROWS, and each row contains one or more cells. Cells are children of ROWS, they are NEVER children of columns.

"display: table-column" does NOT provide a mechanism for making columnar layouts (e.g. newspaper pages with multiple columns, where content can flow from one column to the next).

Rather, "table-column" ONLY sets attributes that apply to corresponding cells within the rows of a table. E.g. "The background color of the first cell in each row is green" can be described.

The table itself is always structured the same way it is in HTML.

In HTML (observe that "td"s are inside "tr"s, NOT inside "col"s):

<table ..>
  <col .. />
  <col .. />
  <tr ..>
    <td ..></td>
    <td ..></td>
  </tr>
  <tr ..>
    <td ..></td>
    <td ..></td>
  </tr>
</table>

Corresponding HTML using CSS table properties (Note that the "column" divs do not contain any contents -- the standard does not allow for contents directly in columns):

.mytable {
  display: table;
}
.myrow {
  display: table-row;
}
.mycell {
  display: table-cell;
}
.column1 {
  display: table-column;
  background-color: green;
}
.column2 {
  display: table-column;
}
<div class="mytable">
  <div class="column1"></div>
  <div class="column2"></div>
  <div class="myrow">
    <div class="mycell">contents of first cell in row 1</div>
    <div class="mycell">contents of second cell in row 1</div>
  </div>
  <div class="myrow">
    <div class="mycell">contents of first cell in row 2</div>
    <div class="mycell">contents of second cell in row 2</div>
  </div>
</div>
