Can we relax the requirement of int64 numbers being represented as strings in the JSON Format for integer numbers that don't lose precision in ECMAScript when represented as numbers?

      Change the default serialization of number (Int64 and Decimal particularly) as numbers in JSON.
      Add support for the 'IEEE754Compatible' format parameter to the application/json format and require that the producer MUST serialize Int64 and Decimal numbers as strings if this format parameter has been specified.

      Description

      The current JSON Format specification requires all Int64 numbers to be represented as strings because of the limitation of numbers in JavaScript were these numbers get stored as 64-bit binary format IEEE values and therefore lose precision past 15 digits. However numbers up to that point could still be represented as numbers.
