Does the explanation given in the other email resolve this?

Exactly. If it does not apply to all then individual responses are needed in the response vector.

Implementation specific. Applying terminate to a terminated activity is no operation.

Implementation specific behavior at present.

Hmm. The text mentions NotAuthorizedFault but the list of faults (6.2.4.3) does not. This is something to raise when we review before going to full specification. Should all of these operations be throwing NotAuthorizedFaults or is the text in the paragraph a 'mistake'.

I've raised a tracker for this. Good catch.

I imagine before Barcelona.
