> Inconsistent method names:
> * Attribute: getString() and getBytes()
> * Value: getValue() and getBytes()
> * Proposal: Rename Value.getValue() to Value.getString()
> Inconsistent and wrong documented error handling:
> * Attribute: getString() and getBytes() check for isHumanReadable and throw LdapInvalidAttributeValueException
> * Value: getValue()/getString() tries to UTF-8 encode bytes if not human readable, which doesn't work always, and javadoc says "returns null"
> * Value: getBytes() doesn't check if is human readable
> * Proposal: Make Value behave like Attribute, i.e. throw LdapInvalidAttributeValueException
> Opinions?
