Raising Exception would be prefered. Any comment raising exception? ExceptionFilterValidate wouldn't cause much BC, IMO.

I don't follow. Do you mean throwing an exception to the existing filter-and-continue functions? If so, that would surely break every single use of those functions. Or do you mean adding a new function which either silently succeeds or throws an exception? That doesn't sound good to me - an exception shouldn't be the expected result of something, and invalid input is an expected condition (just an undesirable one). It's easier to add a throw statement based on a boolean result than to catch an exception and continue with other checks. I may have misunderstood your question, though.
