Might be better to call it 'repoid'.
A "repository" can contain one or more "publication points". A single
"publication point" is the list of files on a manifest + the manifest
itself. Looking at the filesystem, a directory may contain multiple
"publication points" (which are like ships in the night).
table of phrase + example value:
"repository": rsync://chloe.sobornost.net/rpki
"repository": https://chloe.sobornost.net/rpki/news.xml
"publication point":
rsync://chloe.sobornost.net/rpki/RIPE-nljobsnijders/
Confusingly, RFCs mention the phrase "publication point" which I think
meant to map that phrase to the X.509 SIA attribute "CA Repository".
