Dumb question re how minimserver works

One of those 2-box models describes the interaction between a combined control point with Decoder component and the (standard) MediaServer component; so the control point with Decoder (combined) UPnP component or 'box' does seem to fit into the DLNA definition of a DMP.

This is interesting. I was only previously aware of the 3 box model. To refresh my memory, I looked up this Wikipedia article, which provides a list of UPnP components. None of the components listed there seems to fit the DMP concept; do you have a reference to the definition of the 'combined' component?

Of course, in reality a single hardware device can host the whole of a UPnP AV or OpenHome system. My own desktop computer has instances of MinimServer, control points (Kazoo and Kinsky) and renderers (the OpenHome renderer and foobar2000). But the OP's question related to the mode of operation ('pull' or 'push') of a Linn DS, rather than the number of boxes in the system.
