It has been asserted elsewhere by someone that:

I replied with my opinion that this is actually implementation defined 
behavior, and that the only guarantee the standard gives is regarding 
access to common initial sequences of structs in a union.

Since there is still some dispute, I would welcome comment from the 
assembled multitude, particularly those who know what they are talking 
about.  A majority verdict will do. :-)
