Please ....

That this isn't true is amply demonstrated by all the
images that get passed around the net :-) 

All one needs to do is make sure that the endian
order of the data is well defined !

There are many ways to do this perhaps the easiest
is to just use a 'magic' cookie at the beginning of the
data structure *or* have a well defined structure that
insures a certain endian order is imposed on the 
creator.

Cheers
