For datetimes, do you mean that they be set as strings in the standardized formats such as specified by ISO 8601? Like:

{"item": "lawn chair", "order-timestamp": "2016-08-21T00:58:47Z"}

Yes, that would be a strongly recommended way. I could see using a unix timestamp as a numeric field as another way.
