On my C6, rkr raises only string 4(A) 1/2 to Bb. Is this the "standard"? Does anybody raise the A on string 8 as well?

Many people raise 8 as well, but Buddy Emmons didn't. A basic premise of jazz chords is to have different notes in each octave. Combined with P8, for example, it makes a 7b9 chord which can be very useful.

I think there's more freedom and more harmonic options with just the higher string being raised.
I had both strings raised on my RKR but Buck Reid, when he recently put another E9th pull on that 'knee' at my request, suggested losing the 8th string raise - partly for the musical benefits but partly to render my RKR a little 'lighter' in action.
It works in both respects.

That's an interesting point that b0b raises, and it creates a slight conundrum for uni players. C6 (B6) doesn't like to move both octaves but E9 does. My left vertical lowers 5&9 (equivalent to 5&10) while the centre one does the equivalent of lowering 3 to B and actually raising 7 to C#.
As regards Glenn's original question, I raise and lower both those octaves.

I have the raise on both strings, but I keep it disengaged on string 8 much of the time. I do like having the option though

I had it on both As, but backed it out on the lower one for exactly that reason, wanted a convenient 7b9 chord and couldn't find one.

| I followed Doug Jernigan's lead and raise and lower 4+8. YMMV |

It depends whether you want a fully strummable version of the 7b5 and 7aug chords you get with P5. I do like John/Doug while realising that I am under no legal compulsion.
