Now where have I heard that statement before?  Strangely the response I'd have 
is the same in both cases.

If we're guessing about outcomes, I'd say that publishing this document is 
unlikely to damage anyone's reputation.  It's useful, pragmatic guidance.

On the other hand, deciding not to publish it because someone complained would 
do a lot more damage to the credibility of the institution.  That would make 
the institution appear out of touch, and weak enough that a bit of modest 
disagreement causes it to fear doing something useful.
