Sure they are;

"[...] successful responses are
sent with status code 200, and failures are indicated as 4XX or 5XX."

Moreover, the sentence preceding that one identifies the binding as a
transfer binding, not a transport binding;

"This binding of SOAP to HTTP is intended to make appropriate use of
HTTP as an application protocol."

... so I'm not sure why the WS-Addressing WG is taking the position
that this one aspect of the binding would be transport-specific while
the rest is transfer-specific.  *shrug*
