I don't know what reasoning was behind this, but IMO, defining header to have fixed byte order would be much better. Of course, it is always easier to think backwards. However, things like IP header, were existed before squeak image format. So, again, i am clueless why guys decided that doing like it's done is a Good Idea (tm).
