update to match new "tflags publish" rules

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
  The life-cycle of a rule goes like this.
  
-  * A rule starts off in a developer's sandbox.  It may be an experimental rule ("tflags nopublish" or "T_" prefix on the name).
-  * Alternatively, it may be a non-experimental, but still in-sandbox, testing rule.
+  * A rule starts off in a developer's sandbox as an experimental rule, one that he doesn't want to publish just yet.
+  * Alternatively, it may be a non-experimental, but still in-sandbox, testing rule.  These need to be marked by the developer with "tflags publish".
   * The developer may decide to switch the rule back and forth between those two states.
   * Non-experimental rules' promotability is measured (see SaUpdateBackend).
   * If it's good enough, it's published to the "active set".
