The Specification Style Guidelines wiki page clearly says that normative encouragement (e.g. we want, but do not prescribe, a warning at this point) is supposed to use "should", not "are encouraged".

Some of the specific attribute descriptions violate that and should be fixed.

Replace 'encouraged' with 'should'.

Consistent with ISO Directives, Part 2, encouragement for
implementations is supposed to use 'should', not 'encouraged'.

Fixes cplusplus#1601.
