Couldn't you just write the hex bytes? That would be unambiguous, and it wouldn't lose precision.

  At that point human-readability would suffer.

    reading hex floats isn't the most intuitive, but isn't that bad.

      An amusing anecdote is that Alan Turing taught himself to read numbers in the internal representation used by the computer, rather than allowing the waste of equipment, time, or labor to translate them.

  That's still a binary format in my eyes, it's not human readable or writable. You've just written the binary format as hex.
