You can use XDR without using ONC/RPC. That puts you in full control of the transport layer, but let's you reuse a existing, mature structured data marshalling/unmarshalling technology. XDR is a data representation language and encoding, much like IDL+NDR are in the DCE RPC (and MSRPC) world, or like ASN.1+BER/DER/CER/PER/XER, or like... There are many, many such languages and encodings. So, why re-invent the wheel? Heck, SQLite itself has its own encoding for on-disk sotrage, and IIRC it's endian-neutral (i.e., the same DB works on little-endian and big-endian systems). Perhaps libsqlite ought to export functions for encoding/decoding values.
