In the XML Schema 1.1 Part 2 working draft currently at
http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/WD-xmlschema11-2-20060217/datatypes.diff-1.0.html,
section 2.2.3 says:

     In this specification, this less-than order relation is denoted by '<'
     (and its inverse by '>'), the weak order by '≤' (and its inverse by
     '≥'), ...

Is that backwards?  "not ( x > y )" does not imply "x < y"; it implies
"x ≤ y".

In which sense is "inverse" meant?  Is "inverse" the right word?  Should
it be "converse"?  something else?
