+Summary: [PATCH] ResXResource[Writer/Reader] cannot decode its own byte[] entries
+
+1.
+ResXReasourceReader doesn't correctly interpret
+
+<data name="name" type="System.Byte[] ..."
+  mimetype="application/x-microsoft.net.object.bytearray.base64">
+
+because it gets fooled by the non-null mimetype
+and it tries to decode the entry with a TypeConverter.
+
+2.
+byte[] b;
+write.AddResource (key, (object) b)
+  should pass control to AddResource (key, byte[]) if the value
+  is a byte[], otherwise the value will be serialized.
+
+I also added new unit tests.
+
+May I commit?
