> Looks like some of the new normalizers like this one do not know how to handle byte[]s.  This is very bad and compare operations will all fail because these normalizers must be passed a byte[] by the compare handling of the server.  Note that CompareContext uses a byte[] for the value being compared regardless of the human readibility of the attributeType's syntax.
> Example referred to above:

> Emmanuel can you take a look at this one for me or at least comment on it - I figure you know best the normalizer you added a while back.  But however I wanted to also ask if there is a better way to solve this than I did above.  I guess I can make the compare operation figure out what to give the normalizer.  Anyways I think we're going to be in a great possition soon when we do all this Value and ServerEntry stuff - these kinds of problems will never happen again.
