Thanks for making the changes. Just one trivial comment:

We can have 'applicable to' instead of 'applicable for' in all these places:

a)
+ /* Publication actions are not applicable for sequence-only publications */

b)
+ publishing tables. This clause is not applicable for sequences. The

c)
+ errmsg("publication parameters are not applicable for publications
defined as FOR ALL SEQUENCES"));

thanks
