Hi all,

Section 6.2.1 of RFC 7071
(https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7071#section-6.2.1) says:

> INTEGER:  an "integer" as defined in Section 2.4 of [JSON]

But JSON does not explicitly define integers. Perhaps the "int" ABNF
rule was what was meant?

The word "integer" only appears in passing here:
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4627#section-2.4

Thanks,
Ulysse
