But SOAPFault not the obvious payload. Whoever did that bit of the
spec didnt fully understand namespaces, to the extent that the
faultcode/faultstring/faultdetail elements under <soap:Fault> have to
be local, not in the soap ns.

That particular bit if brain damage derives from the W3C XML Schema Language. They made that mistake because they were attempting to treat attributes and child elements as equivalent. Attributes are unqualified. Therefore child elements should be. At least that's what they were thinking. It's just one of many bad decisions made in that spec.
