Yes, that's the obvious place to put this material, rather than putting it

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.
