I don't understand what you are saying...

Those instructions are about setting up a web based map which shouldn't 
normally hit any policy restrictions.

Nothing in those instructions will cause requests to be sent without a 
referer or user agent so there shouldn't be any problem with a site 
which is built following those instructions?
