Hi Mark - glad you liked the write-up.
From what I have read it is a good idea to leave the airbag disconnected for 20 minutes for safety - so it will not discharge when you unplug it.
If you leave the battery disconnected, my understanding is that you will not affect the airbag warning light regardless of what you do. If you turn the ignition "on" with the battery connected but no airbag, it registers a fault in the airbag system (because the is not one there) that has to be cleared.
