 I have not looked at what Silverlight does (someone mentioned during
 the conversation that they just stop execution of the managed code and
 return an error).
 
 Under these conditions it does not seem worth to implement, I thought
 that Silvelright might be able to throw and have the exception be caught.

+Jim Miller's remarks might be correct for the default CLR host,
+but a sophisticated MS CRL host is definitely informed about critical
+errors, including stack overflows. The host can even choose a priori 
+which action the CLR should perform when a specific error condition
+has occurred. Although some errors (stack overflows) are not really
+recoverable, the host can choose to remain alive (MSSQL is such a
+host).
