RE: fault serialization

Thanks for your comment.  The WS Description Working Group tracked this
as a Last Call comment LC337 [1].  The Working Group agreed to fix the
problem in the following manner:

 - Copy the content of section 2.2 of the Describing Media Types for
Binary Content note (a product of this WG) into part two,

 - point the definition of whttp:inputSerialization,
whttp:outputSerialization, and whttp:faultSerialization at that
definition,

 - check other references to these serialization properties to insure
that they do not improperly restrict serialization to a single mime
type. 

The net effect is that you will be able to specify alternative media
types in the whttp:*serialization attributes.

If we don't hear otherwise within two weeks, we will assume this
satisfies your concern.
