Does anyone use the 'Media Serial Number' field of IDENTIFY DEVICE ?

The question of the endianness of this field being not well defined came up
in a T10/SAT
meeting on Monday June 20.

I created a proposal to state what the endianness and data type of this
field is
(basically an ASCII string) in this proposal.

>http://t13.org/docs2005/e05140r0-ACS-EndiannessMediaSerialNumber.pdf

So - - those of you who use this field - -
* does the proposed text  conflict with actual usage that you know of ?
* is the usage of this field vendor unique ?
* can we safely make the proposed statement ?

Thank You !!!
