 What should the dissector do when it recognises that an IE cannot be handled?
    
   - Ignoring the un-dissected octets leaves the user with a false sense of 
believing the dissection was complete
   - DISSECTOR_ASSERT is much too invasive.
   - Expert info, would seem to be the best option, but I recall that it was 
intended to be used for providing information about the captured packets, 
rather than about dissector deficiencies.
 What is the generally accepted solution?
