Sure, but e.g.
	javascript:alert("10" < "2")
evaluates to true. ;)

I think the simplest and most useful thing would be to only consider 
values containing some numerical value (and parsing out that value, 
comparing it as a number). Other values are ignored, as though there was 
no value specified.

I don't feel strongly at all about it, but I don't see that it'd be 
worth the effort to also support strings, dates or whatever. Then you'd 
also have to define how e.g. strings should compare to numbers. It seems 
both (1<"foo") and (1>"foo") evaluate to false.
