Agreed.

We may as well not even mention "Intel" and "Motorola", given that
these names have historical significance only, and are otherwise
outside the scope of this spec. (To find that out, there is
Wikipedia.)

So making the text short and sweet may be the even-better thing to do
here. (But again, I'm ok either with or without my proposed change.)

73, 73, 42, 0
(ASCII "II", followed by the TIFF version number in the little-endian
byte order)
or
77, 77, 0, 42
(ASCII "MM", followed by the TIFF version number in the big-endian byte order)

Sincerely,
Cosmin
