Thanks for the patch, one suggestion, how about we mention something like:
This is done by REFRESH PUBLICATION and by ADD PUBLICATION, DROP
PUBLICATION, and SET PUBLICATION, which add newly published sequences
to the subscription and remove dropped ones. REFRESH SEQUENCES does
not change which sequences are subscribed.
