Serializing floats

Hi!
After years of spurning PHYSFS_writeSLE32() and
friends, I seem to have suddenly found myself
using them.
At the same time, however, I find myself needing
to de/serialize floats in a similar 'portable' way.
I know that this is really tough as a general case,
but if you can assume IEEE floats then the only
serialization issue is endianness - right?
So could we have a PHYSFS_writefloat32() function or
is it a reasonable assumption (I suspect not) that float
endianness matches int endianness and we can fake it
by passing a type-punned float to PHYSFS_writeSLE32()?
(**ick**)
