Q & A: boiling salt

What is the boiling point of pure salt (NaCl). Not a saturated salt solution. just pure salt.

The beauty of the Web is that you can look this stuff up:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_chloride

Boiling point 1413 °C, 1686 K, 2575 °F

This is standard enough stuff that I assume Wikipedia is right.
