4.1.3 Byte order
-By default, the native endianness of the source architecture the trace is used.
+By default, the native endianness of the source architecture is used.
Byte order can be overridden for a basic type by specifying a "byte_order"
attribute. Typical use-case is to specify the network byte order (big endian:
"be") to save data captured from the network into the trace without conversion.
