Andrew,

Thank you for the feedback.  We wanted to complete the NRPC investigation prior 
to looking at this issue from a broader perspective.  We will be working with 
the product teams to look for any further inconsistencies moving forward.  In 
the meantime, if you find any further inconsistencies, please feel free to 
forward them and we will investigate.  I will let you know the results of my 
investigation shortly with regard to your issue below.

Also, I will be on vacation next week so my teammate John Dunning will be 
working with you regarding this issue.

Thankyou.  

However, have you made investigations to see if this has occurred in any other 
protocols?  

For example, MS-ADTS 7.3.1.1 continues the fine tradition of claiming to 
present a bit table in little endian, but it is actually big-endian (and is an 
integer string on LDAP, and little-endian in the NBT netlogon dgram 7.3.1.4).
