Whether you place your article in an OA journal or deposit it in an OA archive, the result is publication either way. In both cases, the article is being distributed to the public (i.e., published) on an OA basis. In other words, to mandate OA self-archiving is to mandate OA publishing -- by the author, in cooperation with whoever manages the archive.
