Of course, that brings up the question: do we still need to support two byte orders?
In my experiments, reading from the disk always swamped the time needed to swap byte order - so there is no noticable impact from using a fixed byte order and forcing conversion on one platform the other.
I suggest that network byte order (big endian) be used. Especially if any Big TIFF variant will go before the IETF for RFC approval.
