I think you are asking for a reasonnable feature, but one that is neither one-way (strictly speaking) nor request-response. A SOAP fault can only be received if this is supported by the MEP's state machine, i.e. if the client can enter the Receiving state [1]. A one-way MEP would probably not have a Receiving state (client side). The current SOAP request-response MEP could probably be used as a work-around for one-way+faults. Jean-Jacques.
