That explanation also doesn't cover why you retain soul speed when you go from full soulsand to the edge, and continue onto non soulsand blocks, such as wool. Again if you reference my image you can see the set up go from soulsand to wool, if you start in the middle of a soulsand block, and then move to walking along the edge, you will retain your soul speed, even when you are walking in the wool area.
You are not over another block in this set up. The line of soulsand has air blocks next to it. That is the edge you are running on. If you look at my picture, the fence gates are floating. So you are half on soulsand half on air. Sorry if that wasn't clear.
Ooo very likely related to that one! Good catch. It mentions nothing about soul speed being retained when entering the weird edge state while it's active, but that is probably just an additional side effect.
