I have a dissector which does not yet dissect all of the possible

What should the dissector do when it recognises that an IE cannot be

- 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?
