Re: BGRA, ARGB, etc. suggestion

when we designed PNG, we didn't allow for both big and little indian

we picked one for the PNG standard and writers / readers have to convert 
when necessary

I think the same applies to RGBA / BGRA / ARGB, etc.

no need to include all variants in the format, just pick one (like we 
did) and let the utilities and applications convert

will keep things clear
