Rule 478 explicitly defines both "publish" for any message and "by
announcement" for actions. It doesn't explicitly define "by
announcement" for non-actions; in that case, ordinary-language
equivalence to "by publication" seems plausible, e.g.
"a Bard CAN do X by publishing a sonnet"
= "a Bard CAN do X by announcement of a sonnet"
