JSONTest::testDecodeScientificNegativeExponent demonstrates that "6.02e-23" is
correctly parsed as a number. Also, if you look in JSONTokenizer at line 392 (as of
revision 63) you'll see the code to check for scientific notation in numbers.

Rejecting as invalid - make sure you're using the latest from SVN.
