No, they do not.

An exchange operates by having a publisher send messages to it and a 
subscriber bind their queue to it in order to receive (possibly a subset 
of) those messages.

Likewise in 1.0 the publisher publishes to the node and the subscriber 
links to it in order to receive (possible a subset of) those messages.

In neither case does the subscriber need to explicitly know about the 
publisher. They simply know about the exchange or, in 1.0 terminology, 
the node.

Of course prior to 1.0 you can have the subscriber simply subscribe to a 
pre configured queue and have the bindings set up as part of the 
configuration. The same is possible with the 1.0 model.

I'll take lack of anything more specific as confirmation that ZMQ does 
not offer primitives for reliability but deliberately leaves that to 
applications themselves.
