Geoff points out an issue in handling comparisons. On the other hand, there is much RDF data that does not use typing yet. I propose that SPARQL does not require processing plain literals as numbers if they just happen to look like numbers. Implementations would be free to provide this if they choose to but it is outside the rec (i.e. SPARQL does not forbid it either).
