I'm sure we've been here before, but as I was taught:
"cleared ILS rwy xx" would clear you for a procedural approach - the full monty, initial approach fix, descent profile etc, viathe beacon you would holdat if necessary.
"closing the localiser" and all the rest belongs to a radar-vectored approach, and the biggest clue comes from the phrase "radar vectors ILS xx".
It could be argued that, at larger airports where a full procedural approach service would only be used as a last resort, this diffrentiation is unnecessary; however, imho there are still enough major airports who run procedural training (for pilots) in parallel with radar approaches plus those who run down to single-man full procedural services at night to keep it as is.
Please do not adjust your sets - normal service will be resumed shortly. Meanwhile, here is some music!
