No, at a first look it seems to me 
that in your case the \IsInteger command is necessary,
because you have to check if numbers are < or > each other:
you need the \ifnum command for that.
So, you first have to make sure that \refn{#1} expansion 
effectively produces a number.
In my case, instead, the '\temp... \meaning procedure' works fine 
because I only need to see if two numbers are equal or different,
so all I need is the \ifx command.

Thanks for your contribute,
