Adding salt to milk

What happens when you add salt to milk? As shown by this movie, the milk curdles. In other words, it forms clumps that separate out into a top layer leaving a watery fluid at the bottom. Why does salt have this effect? Milk is a stable emulsion of microscopic fat droplets suspended in water. Adding salt induces the droplets to aggregate and thus makes the emulsion unstable.
