Okay, I'll move it to ntxec.h and expand on the explanation. I think
what's missing is the following part:

  Some registers, such as the battery status register (0x41), are in
  big-endian, but others only have eight significant bits, which are in
  the first byte transmitted over I2C (the MSB of the big-endian value).
  This convenience macro/function converts an 8-bit value to 16-bit for
  use in the second kind of register.

That's an editing error, sorry.

Okay
