Actually, there are perhaps some corners to consider knocking off 
related to:

looking again, iCal says:

float      = (["+"] / "-") 1*DIGIT ["." 1*DIGIT]


but json says:

number = [ minus ] int [ frac ] [ exp ]
int = zero / ( digit1-9 *DIGIT )

So, in iCal, you could have '+4' . json doesn't allow the plus sign.

iCal appears to allow leading 0s. json does not.
