As I read the RFC 2301 spec, it looks like you have more than one challenge, because not only does it say that the offsets SHALL be written out with forward-only IFD pointers, but the byte-order of the file SHALL be little-endian (Intel),

Sheesh. How did RFC 2301 get accepted? Obviously they carefully refrained from allowing it to be reviewed by anyone with a clue about TIFF.
