Jason Smith commented on COUCHDB-1410:
--------------------------------------
Is Javascript relevant? The storage layer reads and writes documents.
Everything arrives or departs (whether to HTTP layer or to a view server) as
JSON. What couchjs does with that JSON seems a different issue. What my browser
does with the JSON is a different issue.
I like Paul's point to simply document how it works and leave it at that. It's
basically how most databases work. Maybe Couch 3000 would improve on that, but
for today...

> The JSON spec has a very loose definition of Number. CouchDB, as a database,
> should have well-defined and first class support for numbers (both integral
> and decimal). The precision of number support should be formally specified as
> should the algorithm used to represent floating-point values, especially
> where an approximation must be made in the conversion.
