[ogsa-dmi-wg] Proposal on fault communication for the DTI

[Mario Antonioletti]

Hi,
    Overall I'm ok with this too but I shared the sentiment that Allen 
expressed:

Although, I can't think of specific use case my concern would be if 
there were some systematic effect that caused a transfer to terminate 
at some point during its transmission and repeated usage of the same
protocol might lead to the same failure - do we already cater for 
this? else it might be good to promote the proposed fault to be more 
generic (possibly change the name TransferProtocolNotInstantiatableFault
too) otherwise I'm fine ...
