Why can minExclusive be equal to maxExclusive?

"Schema Component Constraint: minExclusive <= maxExclusive
It is an ·error· for the value specified for ·minExclusive· to be 
greater than the value specified for ·maxExclusive· for the same datatype."

What's the point of allowing:

<xs:simpleType name="foo">
  <xs:restriction base="xs:float">
   <xs:maxExclusive value="5"/>
   <xs:minExclusive value="5"/>
  </xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>

since the value space of this datatype is empty?
