That makes it sound like we shouldn't support scientific notation at all. Unfortunately, that means breaking backwards compatibility with our own bugs. Ideally, we'd output in the spec-complient format, and support input of doubles in scientific notation in a deprecated fashion for a few releases.
I guess whether you consider *supporting* scientific notation a bug depends upon whether you see it as encouraging spec incompatibility. I think the approach you suggest sounds just fine.
