Randall Hauch reopened DNA-96:
------------------------------

      Assignee: Randall Hauch  (was: Johnny Verhaeg)

This change makes it more difficult to use, since now there are three kinds of exceptions that have to be processed whenever a value (or values) are converted to a desired property type.  This is because it is usually not clear what property type the values actually are, and so it is not known if a conversion between the types is available and whether the values can actually be converted.

> 1) There may be a development situation where it is advantageous to know a passed-in path, segment, etc., is invalid (e.g., due to bad index value, character used, etc.) vs. a bad usage of the factory, such as trying to convert a Boolean value into a Date.
> 2) Non-ValueFactories classes that interact with the ValueFactories, such as BasicName, will need to throw IllegalArgumentException anyway when an invalid name is passed in, meaning the ValueFactories that interact with it would need to catch the IAE and re-throw as a ValueFormatException.
