Well, I'm not too sure what other languages do.  I would be more concerned 
with doing the right thing mathematically and since false < true is the 
basis for Boolean Algebra (see my earlier post - if there is no order 
relation between false and true there's no Boolean Algebra) then I think 
we should have the relation false < true.
