Personally, I opted for the pull chain option. It's cheap and
easy.

Then I'd do away with the light switch and make it a perminent
connection.

I've not completely ruled that out, but fixtures I have seen with
pull chains do not appeal to me as things I want in my LR. I can
drill a hole and mount a pull switch on some other fixture, but if
I go with a fixture with a glass cover, as is likely, then I have
to run the chain somewhere else, rather than let gravity decide
where the chain ends. All that is what got me started down the
wireless remote route with which I started this question. For
now, I am hoping to find switched black wires in the switch.

You make one real good point I had not considered. I'd been
thinking that if I did go the pull chain route, then I would just
leave the switch in the On position. Pulling the switch,
attaching the wires and installing a blank plate over the hole
makes a lot more sense. No point in getting it turned off by
mistake.
