Thanks for improving the documentation.

The latter description seems not true. hot_standby and
max_standby_archive_delay in "runtime-config-replication-standby"
are used during archive recovery. So something like the following
change would need to be applied, I think. Patch attached.

In this mode, the parameters from both this section and <xref
linkend="runtime-config-wal-recovery-target"/> will be used. Parameters
from <xref linkend="runtime-config-replication-standby"/> will not be
- used.
+ used (<varname>hot_standby</varname> and
+ <varname>max_standby_archive_delay</varname>).
</para>
