The following SOAP document fails schema validation against the SOAP xsd
(http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope)
----------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Envelope xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
  <Body>
    <Fault>
      <faultcode>Client</faultcode>
      <faultstring>Invalid attempt to ....</faultstring>
      <detail>
        <dispositionReport  xmlns="http://myuri.org/v1.1">
          <result>Invalid userid or password</result>
        </dispositionReport>
      </detail>
    </Fault>
  </Body>
</Envelope>
----------------------

Adding a null namespace declaration to each of the
elements 'faultcode', 'faultstring' and 'detail' causes the above document
to pass schema validation.

----------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Envelope xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
  <Body>
    <Fault>
      <faultcode xmlns=''>Client</faultcode>
      <faultstring xmlns=''>Invalid attempt to ....</faultstring>
      <detail xmlns=''>
        <dispositionReport  xmlns="http://myuri.org/v1.1">
          <result>Invalid userid or password</result>
        </dispositionReport>
      </detail>
    </Fault>
  </Body>
</Envelope>
----------------------

Does that mean that these elements (in particular 'detail') should not be
declared with the SOAP namespace, and MUST occur within the null namespace?

thanks,
