It's required by the guidelines (not the TOS, I think) but none is looked for and nothing happens if none is there. I think a mandate is much more tremble-making than a requirement. I'm required to stop at the red octagons, but if the day is clear and no traffic is in sight, I drive right on through. Perhaps I'm just lawless.
Mandate: An official order or commission to do something:
So if the copper looked me in the eye and told me to stop at the red octagon, I would do it.
Requirement: required activity;
That's much weaker, seems to me.
However that may be, I have yet to build my first NCX file, despite Hitch's good advice. There is so much more I want to do!
