How to stop receiving a pushed resource? (I-D Action: draft-ietf-httpbis-http2-01.txt)

Hello,
is this the mechanism clients should use to stop receiving pushed resources they already have in their local cache?
How are servers supposed to guess what to push or not? Is it be based on modification date, could the clients send some hints?
