“You should consider using this in your requirements” implies that this is not a hard rule, it’s just an ignorable suggestion. It would be interesting to audit gov.uk web pages over time to see whether this advice is being followed.
Don't forget the rules of British English that make it very clear that the grammatical construction: "you should consider" means "you must in all circumstances save for the immediate alternate outcome being a genocide."

> You should consider
Is Gov UK's way of allowing people internally to point to it and say 'Well, did you consider it?'.
UK Digital don't have any direct power to force change - they have to use sensible advice and internal process to encourage better design.
