CFRG chairs are starting discussion of the next topic:

Q5: Implementations of curve 25519 are using little-endian byte order 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endianness). This is a poll where you can 
choose one of the following 3 options:

1) Use little-ending byte order for both curve 448 and curve 25519
2) Use little-ending byte order for curve 25519, but use big-endian 
(a.k.a. network byte order) for curve 448
3) Use big-endian for both curves 25519 and 448.

You can motivate your choice, but please be brief.

Please don't discuss any other topic in this thread.
