Two suggestions *I think* have been made.
1) that the serialisation library recommends to users who want
portable

This would only be applicable to binary archives. The only currently
implemented binary archive has absolutely no pretense to portability.
Should a portable binary archive be submitted, The comments and
or documentation might make this recommendation, but its not clear
to me that it would be universally preferred.
It is also true for your text archives. If you write a 64-bit long on
one platform and try to read it on a platform with 32-bit longs you
will have problems even for text archives
Again, that would be up to the person who
submits a portable binary archive.
I'll do that once the interface has been finalized
