This document is in good shape and does what it needs to do.  I have just one
very minor substantive comment, and two very nitty nits:

— Section 3.1 —

   If the
   "Recommended" column is set to "D" the item is discouraged and
   SHOULD NOT or MUST NOT be used.

That seems a little odd, and I wonder whether some readers of the note (who
don’t look here for the definition of “D”) might be confused about whether it’s
SHOULD NOT or MUST NOT.  Perhaps this?:

NEW-1
If the "Recommended" column is set to "D" the item is discouraged and SHOULD
NOT or MUST NOT be used; consult the item’s references to understand the
situation. END

…or maybe…

NEW-2
If the "Recommended" column is set to "D" the item is discouraged and SHOULD
NOT or MUST NOT be used, depending upon the situation; consult the item’s
references for clarity. END

— Section 3 —

Nit in the definition of “N”: “leave an items” -> “leave an item”.
Also “basis of it having” -> “basis of its having”, as standard practice uses
possessive pronouns with gerunds.
