Really except for the networking (including say Bluetooth) nobody is big endian anymore. So how about just don't leak that thing from the network layer.

And do not define any data format to be big endian anymore. Deine it as little endian (do not leave it undefined) and everyone will be happy.

I think both SMB and 9p (Plan 9 resource sharing/file system protocol) are little endian.

So it's not even all networking... and "network byte order" will mess you up.
