Description

This was raised against another spec in https://github.com/w3c/rdf-canon/issues/18, and a similar change should be made here and in Framing. Note that this shouldn't affect any actual test results.

The definition from rdf-canon is the following:

Unicode code point order
This refers to determining the order of two Unicode strings (A and B), using Unicode Codepoint Collation, as defined in [XPATH-FUNCTIONS], which defines a total ordering of strings comparing code points.

Also defines other terms related to "lexical".

See w3x/json-ld-api#141.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the terminology in this specification and the related Framing text, then compare the definitions and wording in w3c/rdf-canon#18 and w3c/json-ld-api#141. Done means replacing the relevant “Lexicographical Order” and related “lexical” terms with the agreed “Unicode code point order” definitions without changing test results.
