I think there has to be a cut-off, or anyone can say "I'm going to do X" 
just to get special priviledges.  Since the only reason to define a 
"publisher" is to be able to fairly distinquish who is and who isn't, so 
you give those that are more leeway than those who aren't.

If you were to take my definitions as is. a person (or company) who has 
not yet sold 100 works is either a "self-publisher", or the general 
public.  If this hypothetical person  wanted to get into a hypotheical 
thing that only wanted publishers, he could simply apply to the person 
running the hypothetical thing and ask for a special exception.

is the case with my company, for example, where we have a game in
production, with more than 150k downloads of it (it is free initially),
and an active user base of less than 500 right now..  (working on
that..)

Anyone who's sold at least one thing with 100 copies is a publisher.  No 
problems there.
