Ok.

Then I think the best solution is to introduce a strict version which enforces 
either little or big endian (we can pick) and then deprecate this version. 
While at it we should go through all the existing _NP commands and ensure 
they're specific as well.

If you can access this over the network there is no guarantee that the other 
end is the same endianness as you.

Thanks,
Jake
