I hope JSON5 supports these numeric representations supported by ES6 or ES2021.

Thanks for the suggestion, but we've settled on keeping JSON5's features compatible with ES5, so no ES6 features will be added.

Is it intended to make JSON5 eval-able even in dying IE? If so you might want to reconsider this specification.

FYI these do not break the backward compatibility because all of them cause syntax errors.
