The BOM file format is very, very old - I think for the first decade of its life it actually lived on big-endian platforms (m68k/SPARC/PA-RISC NeXTSTEP, and then over to Apple and big-endian PowerPC.)

EDIT - someone needs to crack open x86 OPENSTEP and do some grepping for 'RATC'...

At this point if a file format could have rounded corners I’m sure it would too.
