Right, sure. My mistake. I didn't notice the note in the docs about endianness.
I made the mistake of thinking that the pixel format description on its own was
sufficient to describing the way pixels are formatted in memory. </passive
aggression>

My problem originally arose when I was trying to transfer an imageSurface to an
external library, cogl. Cogl's format description scheme for the most part took
the seemingly[to me] more logical avenue of describing the pixel formats in
terms of byte order. The fact that these format descriptions don't align very
well with cairo seems to be indicative of a bastard of a situation to me.
