Issue 67: convey error information

On wednesdays telcon I was assigned the action to draft resolution text for
issue 67 [1] ahead of the F2F:

<quote>
Description: SOAP 1.1 provides a fault entity, but also has an implicit
dependence on HTTP for delivery, so it partially satisfies this requirement.
Again, it is in a fairly unsophisticated manner as the faultcode semantics
are limited.

Proposed resolution
-------------------
Issue 67 [1] "convey error information" appears to partly duplicate of Issue
102 [2] "Clarify rules for delivering fault messages". The resolution of
issue 102 [3], that places a responsibility on MEPs specifications to define
the disposition of faults during their operation, largely closes Issue 67.
The protocol binding framework makes provision for the reporting of errors
arising from an operational failure of a protocol binding or its underlying
protocol to the local SOAP node.
