Asking you and Sandro directly: Would it address your concerns if we would
change the default value of useNativeTypes to false and add a statement
saying that consumers can convert literals to native types by round-tripping
through RDF? 

Would you support changing the conversion to include all XSD numeric types
(not sure about xsd:decimal) if useNativeTypes = true.

Would you support changing the conversion of JSON numbers to always produce
xsd:doubles?

We could also recommend (non-normatively) that JSON-LD processors implement
helper methods to do this without going through RDF, i.e., allowing it in a
manner which preserves the document's structure.
