Re: New issue: We need a 'default default' action for faults

+1

Something along these lines came up at a recent WS-Coordination/WS-Atomic
Transaction/WS-Business Activity interoperability workshop I attended. The
specs. only define "application" level fault messages and in those cases
would recommend a FaultTo, but there are obviously other classes of faults
that the system would like to be informed about, such as those generated by
the underlying transport mechanism. It's impractical purely from a
compositional and modularity perspective to say that the WSDL has to know
about every possible fault that can occur. So a default sounds good.
