(as a not very well educated individual on this matter...)

If _that_ is what normalization is about, then I strongly condemn it
being even a subject at all.

The current RFC does a pretty good job at defining what a JSON String
can be, fabricating some sort of injective function so that one JSON
value is equal to another is sick.

OK, I say that, but on the other hand, JSON Schema mandates that JSON
values "1.0" and "1" be considered equal for numeric validation. This
could also be viewed as a form of normalization...
