That's an interesting complication. As you've noted, it's nearly universal for IETF documents to use big-endian numbering. But the above example is paradoxical, as the bits are numbered in a big-endian way across the top of the diagram, from 2 to 15, while being numbered in a littl-endian way is the boxes, from 11 to 0. I had noticed that the top numbers didn't start at 0 (so I didn't count this figure in my "8 out of 10"), but I overlooked the numbers in the boxes.
