Good point !

fix-encoding-args.pl (used to do the change) just converted FALSE|0 to 
BIG_ENDIAN and etc, so the "convention" actually kind-of-happened 
because previously TRUE|1 or FALSE|0 were the only choices for the 
'encoding-arg".

So, I stand corrected.

Maybe what I should be doing is converting all the single-byte fetches 
to use ENC_NA.

Thoughts ?
