note that JSON doesn't support non-numeric floating point values, as can 
be seen by the "number" syntax description on this page:

     http://www.json.org/

(and as I pointed out in another thread on this topic, Python relies on 
the C library for serialization of floats, so non-numeric floating point 
values aren't portable between Python versions either).
