> Currently the JcrValue implementation has a method "asType(int propertyType)" that creates a new JcrValue object with the original values converted to the specified type. There are a couple of cases that are missed:
> 1) The code does not do any conversion to LONG of DOUBLE.  However, according to the JCR 1.0 specification, it is possible to convert these if the current type is a STRING, BINARY, DATE, DOUBLE, or LONG.  
> 2) The code does not do any conversion to REFERENCE.  However, according to the JCR 1.0 specification, it is possible to convert these if the current type is a STRING, NAME, or BINARY.
> 3) The conversion to a number of types exclude going to BINARY
> 4) The conversion to NAME and PATH both have somewhat complex logic to determine if a conversion is possible, even the current value factories do the same checks.  The code should just let the value factories do the checks.
