Right. Currently I have Web IDL say that the closest value
representable with a Number should be used:
http://dev.w3.org/2006/webapi/WebIDL/#es-unsigned-long-long
That is for values >= 2**53. Whether that’s a useful definition or
something else should be done, I’m not sure.
53 bits is better than 32, in any case.
