Sorry about that! I'll be sure to fix this. I'm actually quite interested in this stuff -- Chinese people and I imagine a whole lot of other folks also have the big-endian name interacting with little-endian world problem. I wonder if the French convention of capitalising the surname is to help with this, e.g. KIDO Takahiro and Ian LYNAGH.
