Description
When i store a value like "001" into the data attribute and retrieve it with .data() i get "1" returned. This should be "001" and not parsed as an int.
Example here: http://jsfiddle.net/Aske/WzFS4/

This is expected behavior and a feature of the .data() method. It is explained in the docs: "Every attempt is made to convert the string to a JavaScript value (this includes booleans, numbers, objects, arrays, and null) otherwise it is left as a string. To retrieve the value's attribute as a string without any attempt to convert it, use the attr() method."
Please follow the bug reporting guidlines and use jsFiddle when providing test cases and demonstrations instead of pasting the code in the ticket.

Confirmed. I believe we're using parseFloat(n) as opposed to parseInt(n), but it's essentially causing the same issue regardless. One possible workaround for now would be storing 001 as a single-quoted string within your data-value, however this isn't ideal: http://jsfiddle.net/WzFS4/2/.
