Consider the following code:

```python

import docutils.statemachine
import docutils.parsers.rst.tableparser

import pprint

def simple2data(text):
    '''Convert a simple table to data'''
    text = text.strip()
    lines = text.split('\n')
    for i in range(len(lines)):
        lines[i] = lines[i].strip()
    
    parser = docutils.parsers.rst.tableparser.SimpleTableParser()
    block = docutils.statemachine.StringList(list(lines))
    
    simple_data = parser.parse(block)
    pprint.pprint(simple_data)

text = '''
=====  =====  ======
  A      B    A or B
=====  =====  ======
False  False  False
True   False  True
False  True   True
True   True   True
=====  =====  ======
'''

simple2data(text)
```

The simple table should be parsed, but docutils throws an error:

```
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "simple2data.py", line 68, in <module>
    simple2data(text)
  File "simple2data.py", line 18, in simple2data
    simple_data = parser.parse(block)
  File "docutils/parsers/rst/tableparser.py", line 67, in parse
    self.parse_table()
  File "docutils/parsers/rst/tableparser.py", line 411, in parse_table
    (line.rstrip(), offset))
  File "docutils/parsers/rst/tableparser.py", line 484, in parse_row
    self.check_columns(lines, start, columns)
  File "docutils/parsers/rst/tableparser.py", line 523, in check_columns
    offset=first_line+offset)
docutils.parsers.rst.tableparser.TableMarkupError: Text in column margin in table line 2.
```

If you change line 520 in docutils/parsers/rst/tableparser.py like this:

    elif line[end+1:nextstart].strip():

It seems to fix this issue.
