The next to last sentence should have read "and, we are not obliged to carry that over to 3.x where cross-type ordering comparisons are not the norm unless a type has specifically enabled them." The gist of the idea is that in 2.x, we do have cross-type ordering comparisons so we should make them as useful and non-misleading as possible. But, in 3.x there is no default cross-type ordering comparisons so we're not obliged to return any answer at all.
