Hubert Heijkers commented on ODATA-342:
---------------------------------------

Stefan, it will indeed cut down the wire size but that's not what I was after. I'd like to be able to use Int64s in my model if there is ever the chance that an Int32 might not be enough but at the same time I'd like to stick to having numbers in my JSON response as long as that doesn't impact the precision.

> The current JSON Format specification requires all Int64 numbers to be represented as strings because of the limitation of numbers in JavaScript were these numbers get stored as 64-bit binary format IEEE values and therefore lose precision past 15 digits. However numbers up to that point could still be represented as numbers.
