general fsk question

I am trying to understand fsk demodulation in general.  Is there an
industry standard set of specific demod schemes or just classes of
particular methods (i.e. matched filter, correlation, coherent vs
non-coherent) that are invoked on a project by project basis?

Well, you can look at several industry standards that use FSK,
for example the Caller ID standard, old Bell 103 and 202 standards,
and the Emergency Alert System of the US NOAA.

Keep in mind that typically, standards do not say how to receive /
demodulate a signal, it just says how the signal should look like.
You'll have to look at actual implementations.

The trivial method of FSK demodulation is some kind of discriminator 
either in a passband or in the baseband. Of course, there are the better 
  approaches, however the discriminator is the most common.

The latter.  What you do depends to a great extent on the difficulty of 
the channel and the amount of money you have to spend on receivers.
