Yeah, I thought a little further about it during my night's sleep as well. I checked the JSON RFC, and it expresses no Number model; just the representation. The Number model under which 1.0 === 1 is JavaScript's, not JSON's. Therefore, it is impossible to conclude equivalence for any two Numbers in JSON notation, and CouchDB should roundtrip numbers as close to the original representation as possible. Cheers, Dirkjan
