For example, back in the PowerPC days, we never had to endian-swap our file formats, because we knew that our file format was created on a Mac, and Macs always used big-endian, and it wasn't as if Apple was ever going to do anything crazy like switch to Intel or anything. Nowadays, of course, we can be assured that our code will always run on Intel processors, because *obviously* there's no reason your code would ever need to run on something like ARM. Hmm.
