[UCR] Publication general use case

I've put up a draft of the "publication" general use case:
http://www.w3.org/2005/rules/wg/wiki/Publication

I struggled to distinguish this as a general category from other situations 
where rules are published e.g. for "Regulation/Constraint Compliance 
Monitoring" or for "Policy-Based Transaction Authorization and Access 
Control". If this is to remain as a separate general category it might be 
because the focus is on the publication as an end itself rather than the 
application of those rules. However, taking that tack does not do full 
justice to Harold's FOAF rule use case which is also related to Information 
Integration and potentially to Rich Knowledge representation.

In writing it up I realized that one major area of rule publication of 
commercial interest is publication of privacy policies. Whilst this is 
touched on in [1] it might be a sufficiently important area that's it's 
worth specifically calling out privacy policy in the "Policy-based ..." 
general use case.
