At the moment, I'm not aware of any proposed parameters that need to be
passed from master to standby, since that was one of the arguments for
standby registration in the first place.
If that did occur, when the standby connects it would get told what
parameters to use by the master as part of the handshake. It would have
to work exactly that way with standby.conf on the master also.
