Yes, I agree that my quoted section above is incorrect and the
description you provided is right -- I was confused because MPEG
uses IEEE floats in their binary file format encodings, with a
certain bit-ordering enforced, and so I had thought the bit-ordering
was a part of the IEEE standard as well ...
