After looking some more, it *is* mentioned in a newer version of the document: [1, Footnote 16 on Page 23]: "Other bits are left unspecified, hence the consumer side of those values can rely on it being 0 or 1 when truncated to 8 bit.", so I suppose that's where LLVM's current special-casing of i1 on x86_64 comes from.
