None of the settings in recovery.conf must be specified. One that you will almost always have for recovery is "restore_command", but if all the WAL you need is in pg_xlog, you don't have to specify that either. And you don't need it for streaming replication. Some settings are necessary for point-in-time-recovery, and some for streaming replication, which are two different use cases for the same recovery mechanism. Maybe that's what's confusing you.
