The soap:Envelope, soap:Header, and soap:Body elements in an ENVELOPE MUST NOT have attributes in the namespace "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/".

R1025

A RECEIVER MUST handle envelopes in such a way that it appears that all checking of mandatory header blocks is performed before any actual processing.

R1027

A RECEIVER MUST generate a "soap:MustUnderstand" fault when an envelope contains a mandatory header block (i.e., one that has a soap:mustUnderstand attribute with the value "1") targeted at the receiver (via soap:actor) that the receiver does not understand.

R1028

When a fault is generated by a RECEIVER, further processing SHOULD NOT be performed on the SOAP envelope aside from that which is necessary to rollback, or compensate for, any effects of processing the envelope prior to the generation of the fault.

R1029

Where the normal outcome of processing a SOAP envelope would have resulted in the transmission of a SOAP response, but rather a fault is generated instead, a RECEIVER MUST transmit a fault in place of the response.

R1004

When an ENVELOPE contains a faultcode element, the content of that element SHOULD be either one of the fault codes defined in SOAP 1.1 (supplying additional information if necessary in the detail element), or a Qname whose namespace is controlled by the fault's specifying authority (in that order of preference).

R1112

An INSTANCE SHOULD use either a "200 OK" or "202 Accepted" HTTP status code for a response message that does not contain a SOAP envelope but indicates the successful outcome of a HTTP request.

R1130

An INSTANCE MUST use the "307 Temporary Redirect" HTTP status code when redirecting a request to a different endpoint.

R1131

A CONSUMER MAY automatically redirect a request when it encounters a "307 Temporary Redirect" HTTP status code in a response.

R1125

An INSTANCE MUST use a 4xx HTTP status code for a response that indicates a problem with the format of a request.

R1113

An INSTANCE SHOULD use a "400 Bad Request" HTTP status code, if a HTTP request message is malformed.
