Yep, many CPU families have double endian support (MIPS, ARM, PA-RISC, ALPHA. There is also "mixed" endian. Honestly, I think it is safe to assume that we don't need to care so much about those configurations for the time being. If it is a problem, we can then discuss about our headers being endian-free (which is really the best approach).
