Aquí es donde se convierte en importante poder declarar <abbr title="greater than"><code>gt</code></abbr> y no solo <abbr title="greater than or equal"><code>ge</code></abbr>. Ya que con esto puedes requerir, por ejemplo, que un valor sea mayor que `0`, incluso si es menor que `1`.

Así, `0.5` sería un valor válido. Pero `0.0` o `0` no lo serían.

Y lo mismo para <abbr title="less than"><code>lt</code></abbr>.
