Once more into the queue:
Currently, getBooleanValue recognizes "true", "on", and "yes" as true
and "false", "off", and "no" as false.
I suspect we should follow the W3C XML Schema definitionn of boolean;
i.e. "true" and "1" are true; "false" and "0" are false. All other
values throw an exception.
A weaker version would keep "on/off" and "yes/no" but add 0 and 1.
Finally, whatever decision is reached here, the JavaDoc needs to be
adjusted to document what is going on. Currently you have to read the
source code for this method to find out.
