[New Issue] FW: wsa:Action for undefined faults

Please add this issue to the CR issues list.

Several options have emerged so far:

Option 0: Do nothing - describing this level of fault oversteps the
          bounds of WS-Addressing.  Perhaps note in the spec that\
          such action values are explicitly not defined.
Option 1: Reuse http://www.w3.org/@@@@/@@/addressing/fault.
Option 2: Define a new action URI for soap faults (e.g. /soap/fault).

Subject: RE: wsa:Action for undefined faults


In the submission a static fault URI was used for all faults (including
general SOAP faults).  Seems like we lost that when we changed how fault
actions are determined.  I propose the simplest fix, that we also state
that SOAP faults use the action we've already defined:
http://www.w3.org/@@@@/@@/addressing/fault.

P.S. Is this on the issues list?  I didn't see it there...
