I have a web service which accepts some information in the SOAP header and
may return some errors based on these values. I want to describe this using
WSDL.

I can describe the SOAP header using a <soap:header>  element within the
<input>  element of the SOAP Binding. However, the implications of the
following text from the spec seem a little strange:

	The optional headerfault elements which appear inside soap:header 
	and have the same syntax as soap:header) allows specification of 
	the header type(s) that are used to transmit error information 
	pertaining to the header defined by the soap:header. The SOAP 
	specification states that errors pertaining to headers must be 
	returned in headers, and this mechanism allows specification of 
	the format of such headers.

If the headerfaults must be defined within the header that they relate to,
does this mean that the errors returned by the web service should be defined
within the <soap:header>  element of the request message? That would imply
that the header faults that may appear in the output message are defined
within the <input>  element.
