While it's plausible and reasonable that a technical specification could 
contain usage guidance like this, it's not at all required.

I believe it for more often that "implications" are typically put into 
BCP-like documents.

For example:

    DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) and Mailing Lists
    https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6377

As for doing a BCP on a document that isn't an IETF consensus document, 
we do versions of that periodically, for work developed outside that is 
used by, or affects, IETF-based specs.
