RE: Who Faulted (was RE: Proposed rewrite of Part 1, section 2 (l ong) )

 Stuart,
 I think I can see where you are headed.
 I can also envision an extension which would keep a header in
all messages, targeted at ../next, whose semantics would be that
"any generated fault message (resulting from processing of this
original message) will contain a header with the faulting node's
identifier (what it means would be specified by this extension)". 
 This extension can be wery simply added later by W3C or any 
third party, just as our MU reporting extension, and it would 
further prove the model.
 What do you think? Would the possibility of such a solution (in
the future) satisfy you? (I don't like just leaving people "not 
pushing", I like satisfying them.)
