I would like a Plugin I am currently writing to take a byte[] as the type of a PluginAttribute.
In the untyped version of our system, I would type the PluginAttribute as a String and call getBytes() with an encoding that makes sense. How can we do this in our new type system? I could see the XML looking like attr="Value" where the type converters convert using String#getBytes() but with which encoding? UTF8? The platform default. I also see: attr="Base64:0123...ABC" as being quite useful. Thoughts?
