Normally when things have reached the "Air it in public" level of greivance, what is being put out in public is at least factual--just probably not all of the facts. However, I can quite easily see this happening on the MIT side. Some mid-level bureaucrat who doesn't even know what W3C is will be losing budget, so they're playing hardball assuming the usual level of scrutiny. They're going to get a surprise when they get dumped on by their managers because this suddenly hit a lot of eyeballs and is garnering negative PR for the entire university.
