I was surprised to learn that itanium can be either end, depending on the OS.

Here's a faq, showing how right you are: http://h30097.www3.hp.com/transition/faqs.html#0602

But then again, I see this:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14194/rcmsynta018.htm#RCMRF192 (and it does appear to be in the platform list). Of course I haven't actually tried it.

Since I had to exp/imp anyways (risc to itanium) due to app requirements, it wasn't really an issue for me, but the app needs to know endianess, so I had to figure it out.
