Our WSDL binding does define a way to define custom [action] values
for faults: by using a default pattern and by using wsa:Action
explicitely. I would like to see this called out.

How about:

  When the value of the [action] property has not been defined
  explicitely, e.g. by SOAP modules or by an extension such as the
  WS-Addressing WSDL binding, the following value MAY be used:

    http://www.w3.org/@@@@/@@/addressing/soap/fault

  The above [action] value SHOULD be used for generic SOAP faults··
  including version mismatch, must understand, and data encoding unknown.

Cheers,

Hugo
