Communication is initiated at the sender by definition; initiating at
the receiver just means the receiver becomes the sender ;-)

The sender is the one that decides what to put out and labels it
according to what receiver it wants to reach (whether directly, via
unicast, or indirectly, by group ID, XML tag, etc.) The list of what
receivers are reachable must be known in advance.

I.e., although it seems like receiver-driven might get us somewhere, how
much of it is just relabeling the endpoints?
