On reflection, it's probably best to fix this by adding entries to the operator
mapping table. Otherwise we hit similar problems for min() and max(), which
also invoke the "least common type" rule. Sorting in XSLT also refers to "the
most specific type to which all the values can be converted by subtype
substitution and/or type promotion". Sorting in XQuery says: "The ordering is
performed in the least common type that has a gt operator." This formula works,
one solution would be to use it elsewhere where the problem arises.
