Let's see. If an implementor got this wrong, and actually tested their implementations with one of the bazillion IPv6 implemenations or test suites (some productized and some nearly 10 years old -- and all of them seeming to do the same thing w.r.t. network byte order), and there was a subsequent dispute about who was right and needed to change their implementation, would anyone care about what was (or was not written) in an RFC on this point?
On the other hand, is it good for a standards organization to leave important technical details unspecified and assume tradition and interoperability testing will take care of the difference?
