Section 3.11.1 of the structure spec:

"Values of differing type can only be equal if one type is derived from the 
other, and the value is in the value space of both."

Note that
1. This is the structure spec, and the above statement shouldn't belong here.
2. It doesn't always work. For 2 types derived from "int", their values may be 
equal, but they don't have derivation relationship.

With bug 2045 (R-181) fixed, I think we can simply remove the above quoted 
sentence (or refer to the equality fundmental facet in the datatype spec).

Propose to mark this one as an error and "depends on" bug 2045.
