But you didn't ask for read/write on the standby, only for a standby that can take of the master once the master fails:
"must support INSERTS and UPDATES as well (once the master has failed)"

That's exactly what the hot standby does: As long as it is in standby mode it's read-only.
Once the failover has happened the standby is the new master and will allow read/write access.
