REL-114:final proposal to add a new attribute

[Sunil Kunisetty <Sunil.Kunisetty@oracle.com>]

 Here is the final proposal:

 I like to propose an optional attribute by name type to the Response element.
 The possible values are Acknowledgment and Fault and the default being the
 former.

 If the value is Fault, then the response element corresponds to a Fault message.
 Corresponding Fault code is sent in the Fault Header for SOAP 1.1 case and
 inside the  /soap12/Body/Fault/subcode for the SOAP 1.2 case.

 If the attribute doesn't exist or has a value of Acknowledgment, then the Response
 Header/element corresponds to an Acknowledgment. Fault Header if exists is ignored.

 I like to suggest that we add an attribute by name messageType to the
 response Header element to easily distinguish a RM-Fault message with
 an RM-Ack. Message. Currently we need to check for the existence of
 the Fault Header (for SOAP 1.1_ to distinguish an Ack. To a Fault.
 This is some what tedious and instead having a simple attribute with the type
 of the message will make it simpler and less error prone.

 This attribute can have any one of the following 2 values: Acknowledgment or Fault.

 We have 2 ways to go wrt optionality:

 1) Make it mandatory and require that every message has the type mentioned.
 2) Make it optional and default to Acknowledgment.

 I prefer Option (2)

 Issue Editors,

 Could you please add this a new issue?

 Thx!
