Its the first attempt at attempting a set of guidelines for civil servants. I think the point is, if you are in any way identified as a civil servant, then these are the principles. Civil Serf was clearly identified as a civil servant. I think its a positive step, but its only the beginning and depends very much on feedback and testing in the real world. @Marek: not sure about seriously misreading it.

It's guidance about how civil servants can respond as civil servants in online discussion. That's good as far as it goes, but it is not guidance about how civil servants as citizens are free to blog - so it doesn't, for example, address the Civil Serf question and doesn't provide any of the positive recognition that was clear in Tom Watson's sketch of some principles on 11 March. The word is that something separate on blogging is imminent - but this is clearly not it. I think you are seriously misreading this.
