The JS-visible state of conversions from multi-byte-sized quantities to 
bytes or back is little-endian.

I'm not even sure what that would mean.  The JS-visible state of an 
Int32Array is a sequence of 32-bit integers.  It doesn't make sense to 
talk about its endianness until the underlying bytes are examined in 
some way (e.g. by creating a view of some other type for the underlying 
array buffer).
