Hi Bob.
Where does the WSDL spec say that a soap:headerfault will be "contained
within the <input> element in the binding"?
Did I overlook something?

In sections http://www.w3.org/TR/wsdl#_soap:header and
http://www.w3.org/TR/wsdl#_how-s, the WSDL spec shows that a
soap:headerfault element can be present within soap:header elements defined
within a /wsdl:definitions/wsdl:binding/wsdl:operation/wsdl:input or a
/wsdl:definitions/wsdl:binding/wsdl:operation/wsdl:output.

Because a soap:headerfault is describing part of the message that will go
back as output, then could it be argued that it should be contained within
the <output> element in the binding?

Si.
