@update_mode for Bidirectional Transactional Replication

Hi
I'm in the process of working out how we are going to set up
replication for a client. Quite a daunting task.
I'm think we are going to use Bidirectional Transactional Replication,
as described here:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=820675
If you look at the sample you will see that they use @.update_mode =
N'sync tran' when creating the subscription. Is this necessary? I set
it up using @.update_mode = N'read only', which seemed to work fine, but
I am worried that I might be missing something.
Any comments welcome...
Thanks
Gary
that's a doc bug - it should read readonly.
