Hi Mark, I think that's a good catch. I think faultHint is only discussed in the context of the requesting node as well. I think it perhaps also needs to be used in the transition from Processing to Sending at the responding node. The bulk of the material in the HTTP binding was written ahead of the resolution of Issue 12 (HTTP status codes and faults, loosely described as 500 v 200).
