I meant it along the lines of cross-compatibility in 2.x, for which
there is a default order defined in the code, but not defined by the
docs, as you pointed out to me. My question is whether the default
behavior of CPython in this case has been accepted as an implicit
spec. In this thread, both Joel and Oscar contributed code that
depends on None being less than any number. I've seen it elsewhere,
and I suspect it's common.
