RFC 7493, "The I-JSON Message Format", March 2015

Errata ID: 5354

Section 2.2 says:

An I-JSON sender cannot expect a receiver to treat an integer whose
absolute value is greater than 9007199254740991 (i.e., that is
outside the range [-(2**53)+1, (2**53)-1]) as an exact value.

It should say:

An I-JSON sender cannot expect a receiver to treat an integer whose
absolute value is greater than 9007199254740992 (i.e., that is
outside the range [-(2**53), (2**53)]) as an exact value.

Notes:

The limit is presumably derived from ECMAScript which says:

"The value of Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER is the largest integer n such that n and n + 1 are both exactly representable as a Number value"

However, Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER is 9007199254740991.
