As for me nothing is mandatory. There is a whole lot of things however that are better be agreed upon. Honestly, the difference is in words only :-) Again, this is the difference between language and thought. Being a VERY lazy person i always keep trying to minimize this difference in order to make it easier to express myself. And as I do it I find (to my own surprise) that the more definite (=obligatory) the meanings of words are, the smaller this difference is. See, I am the one for whom the word 'freedom' does not mean anything but "realized necessity" (? осознаная необходимость is what I mean).
Darn it... I can not fully express myself in English. As a matter of fact - in Russian too.
