Description
What is the expected exception safety of Face::onReceiveElement. As of right now, it will throw tlv::Error derived exception any time somebody presents a valid TLV block that looks like Interest, Data (after #2930 like NDNLP) packet, but something is wrong with the packet.
The consequence of this exception (it is not handled, as far as I checked) is that the application will probably crash or stop functioning, as processing loop will be terminated.
Should we change that or it is an intended behavior?

20150814 conference call decides to make the behavior same as NFD UnixStreamFace: bad packets should be ignored silently (or with logging).
