As mentioned above, sport climbers normally "redpoint" with the draws preplaced. I don't think I've ever heard anyone seriously use the word "pinkpoint". E.g. nobody (I know) says Sharma "pinkpointed" Realization, Jumbo Love, etc., even though the draws were already in place: as if we were still waiting for the "true" redpoint of these routes. Anyways, once you've placed the draws to work a route, it does seem kinda silly to pull them out and then turn around and replace them when you're ready for the send.
However, for the high end "trad redpoint" I think people tend to make a deal about the distinction between redpointing with the gear preplaced and placing the gear on the redpoint attempt. In this case, if you wanna do the better style I think it's generally accepted you should place gear when redpointing.
