I'm not sure like the naming of the format. "mixed-endian" could mean anything. I doubt IEEE specifies this as a possible byte representation (but then, I'm uncertain whether IEEE specifies big-endian and little-endian, either). One option would be to call it "ARM, mixed-endian", assuming this can be only found on ARM. Another option would be to call it "IEEE, bytes-big-words-little-endian", describing precisely how the format works (IIUC). Tim, any opinion?
