Pete,
First, support for push scan != support for a workflow solution.
Second, how do you anticipate this being used with discovery? Do you think that users will be using a special workflow scanning application that only shows compatible MFDs that it discovers through DNS-SD/LDAP and does not support pull-scan only MFDs?
(Bear with me, I'm not trying to be difficult, just trying to wrap my head around what the use case/requirements are here. A list of push schemes doesn't feel like the right answer to me...)

A pull from and MFD and then a push to a repository is not equivalent to an MFD pushing to a repository. I view this as an enterprise scanning requirement. Consumer and SMB targeted products can simply just implement pull and avoid the push related overhead. But we need a scan solution that scales. Using discovery to filter basic relatively static capabilities is required. For printing that is things like color printing and supported PDLs. For Scanning it is document feed capabilities and , for me, if it can deliver a scan directly to a workflow (i.e., Push).

However the use case important to Xerox is where the client must have the scanner deliver the scanned documents directly to the destination. (e.g., scanning a contract and delivering is securely to the destination.) The ability to discover scanners that support push without interrogating all the scanners in an enterprise environment is needed. We eliminated seven of the text records from the discovery message. This leaves 4 mandatory, 2 conditional, and 2 optional. Adding this one should not be an undue burden. I can live with a Boolean but would prefer a list of schemes. A list fully populated with the defined values would be “http,https,ftp,ftps,smb,ipp,ipps,mailto” which probably comes down to about 45 bytes for the text record.
