Sorry about that!  I'll be sure to fix this.

I'm actually quite interested in this stuff -- Chinese people and I
imagine a whole lot of other folks also have the big-endian name
interacting with little-endian world problem.

I wonder if the French convention of capitalising the surname is
to help with this, e.g. KIDO Takahiro and Ian LYNAGH.
