The "endian-neutrality" of ISO-9660 is a joke!
As the data in question is not properly aligned in the on-dosk structures,
there is no win from the fact that ISO-9660 includes both byte order variants.
An application that likes to read an ISO-9660 filesystem needs to read the
integers byte wise to either correct endianess or miss-alignement.
