New human readable normalizers need to intelligently figure out how to handle 
byte[]s (Review needed)

                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-1103
             Project: Directory ApacheDS
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Alex Karasulu
            Assignee: Emmanuel Lecharny
             Fix For: bigbang


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.
