Functionally, "publication" here just means, in geek-talk,
that a certain number of credentialled prof-bloggers are willing to
put their reputation-capital behind it.
I'm sure that if the proof turns out to be true, making a
printout on the necessary servers will be a trivial issue.
[That is, at some point, a refereed mathematics journal of world wide
repute will reprint the on-line material, for archival purposes if
nothing else.]
