Description
@TallTed had mentioned at https://github.com/w3c/json-ld-api/pull/619 that the text of the spec explicitly refers to IEEE754:2008 version while a newer 2019 version is available.
to confirm, I checked RFC8785 JSON Canonicalization Scheme (JCS) and RFC8259 The JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) Data Interchange Format for a specific IEEE754 version and found out they do not specify any.
We probably should:
- either upgrade the spec to use the latest version,
- or just avoid specifying standard version in these references just as the aforementioned RFCs do.
