By referring to the docs:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/static/warm-standby.html#SYNCHRONOUS-REPLICATION
Synchronous replication gives the insurance that a transaction has
been flushed to the disk of the standby which is in sync, aka the one
with the lowest priority depending on the nodes currently connected.
This does not ensure that the transaction has been *replayed* on the
standby. You are sure that the transaction data is available. Hence if
you wish to know that a transaction in a standby is running a
transaction with enough data replayed, you should make the WAL
position of the master necessary for the transaction of the standby
something that your application is aware of.
