The other application-only hack that I thought could be implemented  
would be changing all of the properties that should be serialized in  
from JSON would be strings, and then either using a separate property  
that would be responsible for calling Convert.ToInt64 if the value is  
not an empty string, otherwise returning UINT_MAX or something that  
would indicate that there is not a "real" value for this Int64 property.

Without providing compatibility for MS.NET, the only alternatives  
seem to be some application specific hacks, either with crazy  
properties as mentioned above, or using Nullable types (which we  
don't yet support in Mono right?)


Proverbial rock and hard place :-P
