I think the message you're referring to would be a new message
and not considered a reply in the WSA sense. But I suspect you'd still 
want 
it to include the WS-A headers (msgId, To....) even if it doesn't 
include the wsa:RelatesTo, right?

Likewise, I think clients who leave off a wsa:FaultTo would still
want the Fault to include the WSA headers.  Based on the current wording
(and a bit of guessing) I'm assuming the Fault might or might not
have them.  Thus, as I've said before - IMO, having the implicit effect of
making wsa:FaultTo a required header.
