right. Even if the HTTP status code is 200, if the application
receives a fault, it really has little choice in practice than to
interpret it as a fault. If one was to insist that a fault was
accompanied by a 4x or 5x response, then the application might
be left in the somewhat ridiculous position of having a fault
that said that the server returned a http OK response but the
soap packet had a fault - instead of simply having the [real]
fault
