I posted this but it seems to have disappeared. I'm just curious what
your opinion would be on what Taylor and Wheeler did wrt the following
derivation.

The metric being discussed had typos that changed its character. I was
discussing the posted metric, not the correct one.

I don't have Taylor&Wheeler's book, but assume they use the same metric
as Weinberg, _Gravitation_and_Cosmology_, eq 8.2.14. It remains true
that the cooridnates are invalid on the horizon, and are valid only in
two disjoint regions, inside and outside. Weinberg's definition of R
(his \rho, eq. 8.2.13) is invalid inside the horizon, but I'm fairly
sure that could be fixed with a bit of analysis.
