'Recommended' is a 2119 keyword. Furthermore, I would like to suggest 
removing the 'if' clause of the last sentence. Suggestion:

"Any service hosted by an SCA runtime with one or more web service 
bindings with HTTP endpoints is strongly encouraged to return a WSDL 
description of the service in response to an HTTP GET request with the 
“?wsdl” suffix added to that HTTP endpoint URL.
Regardless of the protocol supported by an SCA service endpoint using 
the web services binding, the SCA runtime is strongly encouraged to 
provide some means of obtaining the WSDL description of the service. "
