Yeah I was kind of confused about this when I was reading through the spec trying to figure out what went wrong. I wanted to touch on this in the blog post, but I wasn't able to find a good resource explaining the advantage for mixing endianness in a file format.

- imoverclocked 5y agoWell IBM+Microsoft but really... because 90s and x86.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 5y agoBecause the important thing about those fields is that they aren't really big endian at all, they're clearly ASCII characters. Why the spec you have decided to say they were big endian is beyond me.
