Oracle document says, 
1)Startup
2)Create standby control file. 

When we STARTUP the SCN would be increased. This will make inconsistency 
between the cold backup and the creation of standby controlfile.
Isn't it? Or Am I missing something here?

I know we can bring up the datafile header SCN to same as Standby control 
file SCN by applying archive logs, but rather I can make consistent image 
between my Backup and Standby controlfile by starting my database in Mount 
mode.
