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.

(working on that..) -R Anyone who's sold at least one thing with 100 copies is a publisher. No problems there.
