I guess my idea of "publishing a protocol" is that you're releasing a new spec and not revising or updating an existing spec.
You're right, "publishing a protocol" could mean the second, too.
@KevinMarks @voxpelli I don't see much if any harm in updating a protocol spec right now.
So, now that I'm rereading, I think there's another potential source of confusion.
In the Web world, we sometimes use "publish" to mean "support" or "implement", especially when we're talking about feed formats.
Like, "Does that site publish a WebSockets interface?"
Or, "My blog engine publishes RSS and Atom."
"This server publishes SMTP and SSH."
That's not what I meant, so I should have picked a clearer term, like "publish a new spec".
