Apologies, I should have been less lazy :)

Is it part of the spec that numbers in the “basic” JSON representation (of 7+ digits) be serialized using scientific notation? For example:
let $direct := <json type="object"><n type="number">1339029</n></json> let $basic := fn:map<fn:number key="n">1339029</fn:number></fn:map> let $result := ($direct, $basic) ! serialize(., map { "method": "json", "json": map { "format": if (position() eq 1) {"direct"} else {"basic"}, "indent": "yes" } }) return $result
…produces two different results:
{ "n":1339029 } { "n":1.339029E6 }
I usually prefer working with the “basic” format, but the automatic conversion to scientific notation is inconvenient because the value is not easily castable as an xs:integer.
Thanks in advance, Tim
