To point to one example of the problem, this draft defines "push based" as using multicast.  Decent uses multicast.  But not all push based systems use multicast.  The definitions of push-based and pull-based should be general.  Decent-pulll and decent-push (or some other terms) can be defined as this document uses them.

Relative to the LISP mapping system, the terms pull-based and push-based long

Right, the LISP-Decent pushed-based uses multicast. The other one, NERD, used 
management protocols and not a control plane if I recall.

the term had an understood meaning.  Also, pull-based and push-based have 
well-defined meaning in many contexts.  This draft
The pull-based is what all the mapping systems are using. For LISP-Decent we 
wanted to distinguish the pull-based mechanism based on hashing from the 
push-base multicast method.

seems to use those terms in a rather idiosyncratic (not incorrect, but 
confusing) fashion.  I am not sure whether different terms or additional 
qualifiers are the better solution.
Did I make it clearer?
