Number.MAX_INTEGER should be 2**53. People who want 2**53 - 1 (and there are roughly reasonable uses for it as discussed in that thread, if enough care is taken) can use < as the relevant operator when comparing. In contrast, if the value were 2**53 - 1, people who want the 2**53 value can't simply use a different operator. I haven't kept up enough with this list to know what Math.MAX_VALUE is, and it's not in the latest draft I have -- unless you meant Number.MAX_VALUE? If you meant that, Number.MAX_INTEGER should definitely be different from Number.MAX_VALUE.
