Re: Summarizing the last 192 discussion

If the use case of asking the server to return the last fault is important, 
then it should be important not just for the HTTP binding but for all 
bindings.  I would like to know how other transports and bindings 
should/would handle this use case?  It seems to me that relying on 
information outside of the SOAP Envelope to determine how to interpret the 
meaning of the Envelope or the Fault is dangerous.  Would it make sense to 
add an attribute flag to the fault, something like fakeFault="true"?

Thanks,

David
