Aug 29, 2013 at 16:26 comment added Thomas Klimpel Did you have some sleep? Independent of whether you will finish editing the answer or just remove that line, I have a question. I thought about the second paragraph now and agree, except for the sentence "This is equivalent to saying $\leq$ is closed in $X^2$." I don't say that it is false, just that I don't understand it yet. To simplify, assume we say that $=$ is closed in $X^2$. Since this is a special case of your statement, this should be equivalent to $X$ being Hausdorff. I remember that there was some connection between the product topology and Hausdorff spaces, but was it so simple?
