SOAP Fault location

[Robert D Kearney <firefly@us.ibm.com>]

I'm wondering if the parsing of the ebXML Header (contained in the SOAP
Header) is a SOAP or ebXML function.  Specifically, if the ebXML
information cannot be parsed correctly, should this be reported as a SOAP
Fault, or an ebXML Error?

I'm hoping the latter, since otherwise, there may be a conflict with the
SOAP specs, which indicate that any SOAP Fault appear in the SOAP Body, and
the detail section of the SOAP Fault has this comment:
"The detail element is intended for carrying application specific error
information related to the Body element. It MUST be present if the
contents of the Body element could not be successfully processed. It MUST
NOT be used to carry information about error information
belonging to header entries. Detailed error information belonging to header
entries MUST be carried within header entries."
