This is hugely awkward for cross-platform compatibility with regard to the
project's choice of embedded database which is slated to become the default.

If I've understood your big/little endian comment, it basically means that in
an enterprise setting, or for an association or club, that it will be
impossible to have one single ODB file covering all OS arch.
