"draft-i-json-01 says that you MUST not put in a string representing a
number with greater precision/magnitude than IEEE754 doubles can
support.   I think this is a good idea but I'm a little nervous
because I?ve never written the code; if this is unreasonably hard at
either the sending or receiving end someone should say so."

If you have suggestions for better text -- or other comments/concerns
on this language -- please respond to this thread with your
suggestions or reasoning.
