Isn't "publication" wrongly defined here?
The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:
Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/static/logical-replication-publication.html
Description:
In section 31.1 it says "A publication is a set of changes generated from a
table or a group of tables"... that seems wrong. It's a set of relations,
tables, whatevers. No the changes themselves. Right?

It's correct. The subscriber receives ongoing "events" which are the
logical changes to all tables defined within the publication. The items of
interest are the ongoing changes, the list of tables is just a table of
contents for which change sets are present.
