And a small, but significant, detail I've only recently noticed...
6.2.6.1 p7 says (my emphasis)

  "When a value is stored in a member of an object of union type, the
  *bytes* of the object representation that do not correspond to that
  member but do correspond to other members take unspecified values."

It does not say that the other objects take on unspecified values,
simply that the bytes of their representations do.
