But that's untested and I have a hard time thinking in three-value  logic.

For completeness sake; Because of lazy evaluation, that boils down to:

if (OLD.value IS NULL OR NEW.value IS NULL OR OLD.value <> NEW.value)

The last part of the expression is only evaluated if both OLD.value and NEW.value aren't NULL.
