Thanks also for posting your first experimentation link.
I really can't answer your question, which is one of he reasons I will be changing the coolant soon (even tough it probably doesn't need it).
I want to check what's in it. If I had to guess, I'd say that it pretty much stays in solution and combines with some component of the anti-freeze. When I was in high school, the only subject that caused me any trouble at all was organic chemistry, so I'm just guessing.

All of this happened in less than a years elapsed time and less than 2000 miles.
