Has any thought gone into word alignment issues?

Many platforms require firmware or other data objects to be word aligned. It waould be especially desirable to have large objects (like the firmware) be packaged such that the data does not have to be copied to a new location just to ensure word alignment. Word alignment would also facilitate in-place decryption of the firmeare.
