This could benefit from an explanation of what problem you're trying to 
solve here.  The wiki's full of "I think we should tag X like Y" pages 
but without any arguments for a change to motivate mappers to change 
their habits it's not going to happen.

Currently, for example, "obligatory" is used only 40 times, and 10 of 
those are "nudism":

Also the mainly biological term "facultative" is used as if it's an 
accepted tag, but there are only 49 uses, in the centre of Bremen:

(and it's not common English by any stretch of the imagination - maybe 
versions of it are more used in Romance languages where the latin root 
is more obvious)
