a) This really doesn't matter since ntohs() and htons() are either null
   for Big Endian targets, or defined as synonyms on Little Endian ones.

b) network order _is_ Big Endian, thus errors would only make a 
   difference on Little Endian targets, like the PC.

Changing it doesn't hurt [in fact it makes the usage clearer], but it
also won't change the behaviour.
