Endianess

Here you state that "All data types are little-endian, with the exception of short". But in dinnerbones blog he says "Shorts are little-endian, whereas everything else is big-endian.". The UT3 definition talks very little about endianess but saying that a 4 byte integer is big endian which sort of supports the dinnerbone blog.

This is somewhat confusing.... What is it and please provide a link to the information..

Session ID

I just ran some quick tests, and Minecraft seems to expect it to be a 4-byte long valid UTF-8 sequence. If it is, the ID returns unchanged in the response, and if it isn't, each invalid byte is replaced by sequence 0xEF 0xBF 0xBD, resulting in session ID sections that are longer than 4 bytes. It'd be nice if someone else could confirm this too.
