RE: HTTP Error code for faults (part3, sec 3.7)

Thank you for your comment - we tracked this as a Last Call comment LC111 [1].  The Working Group agreed to add "The fault definition SHOULD NOT go against the definition of the HTTP error codes, see RFC 3205."

If we don't hear otherwise within two weeks, we will assume this satisfies your concern.
