I've noticed my plasterers knock up the lime mixture the day before they use it and let it cure in big buckets over night.

I think non-hydraulic/ air lime was what I was thinking of, I'm struggling to see the difference between that and Hot-mixed lime mortar as listed in this article.

I think what @jsabine is talking about its probably NHL (natural hydraulic lime).

^^ it depends if it's hydraulic or non-hydraulic. Both are lime, but have different methods as they cure differently.
I use NHL, which is stored dry and mixed like cement, albeit left for an hour or two before applying.
Lime-putty is a different beast.
