Except for not putting any limits on sizes of integers. I think it would
be better to have size the implementation must support to be json
complient. And also having separate int and float types. Because let's compare
what happens in ruby:

        JSON.parse(?9 * 100))
        => 
9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999

and in firefox (JavaScript):

        var x = ''; for (var i = 0; i < 100; ++i) { x += '9'; }; JSON.parse(x);
        => 1e+100

So, yeeeey interoperability I guess?
