Chocolate can do funny things to my vision, more a coffee-&-cigarettes person here...
Good idea to list all the techniques Robert but personally I'm against any sort of 'standardisation' because it implies there is some importance to attached to it. Just don't see it I'm afraid.
No ordinary deep sky visual observer is going see anything through any telescope that is not known about in the raft of objects we are able to observe, and for people involved in things like comet and variable star visual observing, the important observing protocols aren't related to 'advanced techniques'.
For me, it's just relaxation and enjoyment, and any way is a good way if you enjoy and benefit from it. KISS!
