A missed approach has a vertical and lateral part. The vertical part starts at minimum but lateral part may have a DME or height restriction and it cannot be executed before reaching that. For a PA it doesn't amount to a MAPt.
We know that vilas. The burning question is: when do you initiate the turn on a missed approach if there is no MAPt?
Only half a speed-brake
At that point where the GP intersects the DA, which I would call MAPt for simplicity but CheckAirman would slap me with all he has, and quite rightly so.Is it: how do we identify that position if going around early, that needs solving? If not I may have been reading you all wrong.
Sydney ILSs have a turn at "MANDATORY" 500 feet. My interpretation is that you don't turn until 500' AND you've past the point where the DA intercepts the glide slope, but anecdotally I have heard of pilots being told off for not turning immediately on an early go around. The problem is that during a go around is not the time to be discussing these things with ATC.

Incorrect. Accurate enough to stay within safe limits if actually flying one, but it is the one-eyed leading.
OP is fine. He knows the MAPt label only applies to the charted LOC procedure, not for the ILS. He's only looking for a reference, and have been given multiple. Apologies for being blunt but you are the confusing one, who did not know there is a difference, and refuse to fold in face of the evidence.
If no feelings hurt, I invite you to have a look at the graphics of the two approaches I posted. Both charts are graphically designed by the respective National Civil Authorities / ATS Providers of the Netherlands (EHAM - the Europe's largest airport trafficwise) and the UK (EGKK - world's busiest runway per airliner movement). You do not get there by being sloppy with the details: clearly showing the MISAPCH start for ILS is different from the MAPt associated with the LOC only procedure.
PENKO: later in the day, or tomorrow. May need to ask some people and check FMS coding to give you a 360 answer. This should not be perpetual.

I ought to have been more clear. As referenced in the doc posted above, all approaches have a MAPt, beyond which we will no longer be trying to land. On a PA, that place is at the DA. On a NPA, it's what we typically call the "missed approach point" i.e. a fix on the ground. And yes, the "M" on a jepp chart only applies to the NPA.
In my opinion if on the night ILS 18R in EHAM, I'd say you can ID the runway as 0DME. If you want to get very technical, with a DH of 200ft AGL, that would be ~2/3 nm from the runway.
The ILS-V 9L at KPHL is similar. At DA, you make an immediate right turn. Having gone missed from that ILS, ATC is quick to give instructions.

Not an immediate right turn. TERPs doesn't permit immediate turns. At a minimum the turn cannot be less than 400 feet AFE.

PENKO
The answer is in ICAO DOC 8168 vol1
Also good article https://www.ifalpa.org/downloads/Lev...20Landings.pdf
The burning question is: when do you initiate the turn on a missed approach if there is no MAPt?
6.1.4 It is expected that the pilot will fly the missed approach procedure as published. If a missed approach is initiated before arriving at the missed approach point (MAPt), the pilot will normally proceed to the MAPt (or to the middle marker fix or specified DME distance for precision approach procedures) and then follow the missed approach procedure in order to remain within the protected airspace. Note 1.— This does not preclude flying over the MAPt at an altitude/height greater than that required by the procedure. Note 2.— In the case of a missed approach with a turn at an altitude/height, when an operational need exists, an additional protection is provided for the safeguarding of early turns. When it is not possible, a note is published on the profile view of the approach chart to specify that turns must not commence before the MAPt (or before an equivalent point in the case of a precision approach). 6.1.5 The MAPt in a procedure may be defined by: a) the point of intersection of an electronic glide path with the applicable DA/H in APV or precision approaches; or b) a navigation facility, a fix, or a specified distance from the final approach fix (FAF) in non-precision approaches.
