I'll test this is the next few days, but don't expect to see anything
problematic.

I guess the whole RC thing snuck up on me though.  I'd really like to
see the whole type coercion system looked at again.  I know we've
ping-ponged on this a few times, but the framework has evolved a fair
bit since then and I do think it's worth another look.  As Robert
pointed out in TAPESTRY-2491, we have four ways of doing type
coercion:

Translators
ValueEncoders
PrimaryKeyEncoders
TypeCoercers

While I can appreciate the value of each being used in a particular
context, it seems as though the framework is even inconsistent with
its usage at times.  Any custom implementation of one almost implies
an implementation of the others and more often than not a simple
adapter is used because the code is so common between them all.  It
strikes me as something that's perhaps over-engineered and the
practicality of a single interface may trump the separation of
concerns benefit.  I think it's one of the framework's "gotchas" that
we could address without much hassle.

If we do decide to keep the system as is, I guess that's fine as well.
 It's not really broken.  But, I would like to see some discussion on
it leading to some decisive path.
