As I noted in another email thread, "SecurityFailure" error
is only applicable when ebMS is being used.

So the issues are :

1. For those cases, when SOAP (or SOAP compliant protocols)
   are being used, then what should the error code be ?
  
2. Should there be "protocol independent" error code specified
   be ebRS ?
  
   For example, ebRS would always return a "SigatureValidationFailure"
   regardless of the underlying transport ( ebMS, SOAP etc). ebRS
   would be responsible for mapping the error code from the underlying
   transport to a ebRS specific error code.
