Coldfusion 9 JSON parsing error

I have a function that essentially does this

<cffunction name="foo" access="remote" returnformat="JSON" >

     <cfreturn ["000", "001", "002"]>

<cffunction>

I am retrieving this array using jQuery.ajax, In firebug I see [000, "001", "002"].

See how the zeros are missing their quotations. This is causing a jQuery to through a parsing error, SyntaxError: JSON.parse: expected ',' or ']' after array element, or that's what I am assuming. Can anyone explain why ColdFusion isn't putting quotations around the zeros, and a way to fix it?
