In Postgres-R, I mostly use the terms 'local' and 'remote'.

I think it'd make the most sense if the name reflected whether the
trigger should be fired by a replication process or not; that way it
doesn't really matter if it's a master or a slave... if the data in
the table is being modified by a replication process then you don't
fire the trigger/rule, according to the setting. But maybe there is
some need to discern between origin and target...
That's why I prefer "origin" and "replica". I want to use the same terms
in the sessions mode GUC, and there "local" could be misinterpreted as
"doesn't replicate at all".
Also, if enums will be in 8.3, perhaps they can be used instead of
"char"?
I don't like this one. It makes it impossible to provide patches,
enabling this replication system on older Postgres releases. And you
know that your customers will want them.
