I'd personally perfer the simpler formats - unless someone tells me that 
coping with message buffers is made much easier by any more fiddlesome 
(re)ordering of bytes.

When teh dust has settled, I expect we should see an updated 
fragmentation text.  I suspect we should consider the final format for 
suitability for offload (perhaps Tom Herbert would look?) and for ease 
of processing in message nbuffere (Tom Jones offered to look).
