The ODF1.2 spec says ("functions" are here the comparison operators),
"These functions return one of True, False, or an Error if Left and 
Right have different types, but it is implementation-defined which of 
these results will be returned when the types differ."

And OpenOffice.org and LibreOffice have the simple rule "number is less 
than string". Excel and Gnumeric have these results too.
