No, PUBLISH is to inform a presence server about our state.
NOTIFY is what a presence server sends to a subscriber to notify the state of 
a subscribed user.

XLite allos two way for presence:

- Client to Client: In this way (the default one !!!!) XLite is a presence 
client and PRESENCE SERVER (so it manages also NOTIFY's as presence server). 
In this way there is no need of a presence server.

- Presence Agent: This mode expects that the SIP proxy allows SUBSCRIBE and 
PUBLISH events, so the proxy is also a presence server (or teh proxy forward 
those messages to a presence server). In this way the presence server sends 
NOTIFY to the clients and receive PUBLISH and SUBSCRIBE from them.
