4.2 of RFC 6480 says:

    For every certificate in the PKI, there will be a corresponding file
    system directory in the repository that is the authoritative
    publication point for all objects (certificates, CRLs, ROAs, and
    manifests) verifiable via this certificate.

It goes on to note that the publication point is identified by the SIA 
(URI) in a CA cert.

4.8.8 of RFC 6487  reiterates this characterization of a pub point being 
identified by the SIA in a CA cert.

So, I believe that a pub point is a location in the repository system 
where a CA publishes signed objects.

I'm not commenting on the rest of your analysis, just this definition.
