Move guidance bullet point 5 higher in the list, to give priority to the INSPIRE themes, and make this mandatory to conform to INSPIRE Metadata TG Requirement 1.4: metadata/2.0/req/datasets-and-series/inspire-theme-keyword.
Identifier schemes
To better support users who wish to link data with other data, it would be useful to encourage the use of Keyword to indicate identifier schemes that are in use within the dataset, such as UPRN, USRN.
This would be best supported by someone establishing a register of identifier schemes so that the keyword could include an anchor to the registered item.
Note that there could even be an additional KeywordTypeCode value of ‘identifier scheme’.

Add further example/recommended vocabularies to the list at guidance bullet point 2: the INSPIRE feature types; the NERC Vocab server; possibly the higher levels of the GC taxonomy being created as DD3-1; SWEET (https://bioportal.bioontology.org/ontologies/SWEET); AGROVOC (http://aims.fao.org/standards/agrovoc/functionalities/search).
