Hello,

I think it's unfavourable to define three possible result values for Node
Comparisons (3.5.3) and Order Comparisons (3.5.4), namely true, false, and
the empty sequence. 

Wouldn't it be more intuitive to return true and false only? That means if
either operand of such a comparison is the empty sequence the result
should be false. This would be consistent with General Comparisons
(3.5.2).

Regards,
Oliver Becker
