I would imagine that the reasoning behind the post would always hold true, irrespective of the version of NServiceBus.
That being said, there is nothing stopping you from publishing a message from a web-site. The idea behind publishing a message is that the message represents an event that is typically produced by some processing endpoint. Since a web application should not really be processing anything but rather be sending commands off to a processing endpoint it would stand to reason that a web application should not be publishing events.
So if you find yourself in a situation where it seems to make sense to publish from your web application it indicates that you need to make a design decision: either the design is not optimal (so the web application is performing processing) or you are constrained in some way the prohibits the implementation of a processing endpoint (maybe a shared hosting environment).
