So, two things:

1) This version of Standby Registration seems to add One More Damn Place
You Need To Configure Standby (OMDPYNTCS) without adding any
functionality you couldn't get *without* having a list on the master.
Can someone explain to me what functionality is added by this approach
vs. not having a list on the master at all?

2) I see Simon's approach where you can designate not just synch/asynch,
but synch *mode* per session to be valuable.  I can imagine having
transactions I just want to "ack" vs. transactions I want to "apply"
according to application logic (e.g. customer personal information vs.
financial transactions).  This approach would still seem to remove that
functionality.  Does it?
