Well, I can tell you that it _is_ limited...

Go to the site in my signature, try this:

{
    "maximum": 209098901232398109823091823.2983908091823098098019283019823098,
    "exclusiveMaximum": true
}

as a schema, and as data, input:

209098901232398109823091823.29839080918230980980192830198230981

As I use a language which has the capability to deal with such
numbers, this answers false -- but I use JSON.stringify() to format
the results of validation: look at how the numbers are formatted.
