Description:
------------
The Comparison Operators page summarises the behaviour of the comparison operators when applied to various types. In particular there is the table "Comparison with Various Types". According to that table, a "String" op "String" comparison is evaluated by translating "strings and resources to numbers, usual math". No mention is made anywhere on that page of the actual lexicographic comparison that is performed.

One of the consequences seems to have been a recent excruciating batch of user notes on the String Type page.
