I remember reading this a while back. I think the SON specification could tighten up a few more things, like number ranges and further string escaping problems.

Limiting the size of numbers is intentionally left out of Son right now, because I'm not sure where that limit should be. My hope is that we eventually have a good schema language for JSON (something like JSON Schema, though I'm not sure about that one in particular) and then people can set number ranges in their schemas based on their particular use case.

There shouldn't be any remaining string escaping problems though! If you find one definitely open a GitHub issue.
