$EnableDrafts simply enables the script scripts/draft.php which  
performs the draft processing, so that is absolutely required.
$EnablePublish seems to actually be $EnablePublishAttr (evidently Pm  
changed his mind while coding and didn't update his internal  
documentation) and turns on a publish password when ?action=attr is  
used to set passwords for a page.

You will see the Publish button whenever $EnableDrafts is on and you  
have publish permission.  Like other permissions, you can set them on  
a particular file (using ?action=attr) or via $DefaultPasswords 
['publish'] = crypt("publishpassword"); in a local/config.php or  
group config file.

I use AuthUser and set $DefaultPasswords['publish'] = '@publishers';  
and then defined a group of valid publishers.

Hope this helps,
Scott Connard.
