Yes. But if you've already got data that you've encoded with the
cdrMemoryStream, it's too late to have byte order issues handled for you
automatically. The encoding created by cdrMemoryStream doesn't include
any record of the byte order, so if you don't know what it is by some
other means, you're out of luck.

No, IOP::Codec isn't supported yet. You can do everything specified for
the Codec with the omniORB specific cdrEncapsulationStream, though.
