Because the REC says they can [1]:

 "Values of differing type can only be equal if one type is derived
  from the other, and the value is in the value space of both."

combined with [2]:

 "The mapping from lexical space to value space is unspecified for
  items whose type definition is the *simple ur-type
  definition*. Accordingly this specification does not constrain
  processors' behaviour in areas where this mapping is implicated, for
  example checking such items against enumerations, constructing
  default attributes or elements whose declared type definition is the
  *simple ur-type definition*, checking identity constraints involving
  such items."
