As a friendly amendment to the friendly amendment, may I suggest that we
use elements rather than attributes for carrying the fault code values.
Elements seem more flexible as they themselves can have attributes and
structure in the future. There was also some discussion about this
earlier in this thread [10]. That, is an example would look like this:

<soap-env:Fault>
   <faultcode>
	<value>soap-env:Client</code>
      <subcode>
	   <value>rpc:BadArguments"</value>
         <subcode>
            <value>app:MissingArgument</value>
         </subcode>
      </subcode>
   </faultcode>
</soap-env:Fault>
