I read it in the SQL spec.  ANSI/ISO 9075-2 1999 (final).

                                       Annex D
 
                                    (informative)
 
                                 Deprecated features
 
 
 
         It is intended that the following features will be removed at a
         later date from a revised version of this part of ISO/IEC 9075:
 
         1) The ability to specify UNION JOIN in a <joined table> has been
            deprecated.                                                     

It's the only one.  I sent a patch to the patches list for JOIN 
documentation.  In it, the only thing I said about UNION JOIN is 
"Deprecated."  Let me know if I should change that.  I thought about omitting 
it entirely.
