There are two cases in which one might wish to send the MI 
refreshWatchers command.
One is when the pres-rules document has changed and the authorization 
status must be reevaluated.
The other one is when the Publish state might have changed - directly in 
the database and not by sending a Publish request and the watchers must 
be notified of the new state.
Is it clear now?
