Comment (by atagar):

 Great! Glad to hear you're not using the DescriptorReader.

 If you're using parse_file() then I'm unsure if there's anything to do
 with this. If you include 'validate = True' invalid content will raise
 ValueErrors, and if not it should pretty much always return a Descriptor
 object. TypeErrors only arise when unable to determine the descriptor type
 (which is caller error).

 Am I missing anything or can this be closed?
