Regarding the 'required' attributes. For now, it seems Google UK is not 'requiring' these but I believe there will come a time when they do.
It seems like they're moving in that direction already.
For example, up until recently I could quite happily upload feeds without using an ID field, ie unique identifier for each product.
A few weeks ago I got an email from Google which I initially took to be 'spam' but later confirmed was genuine. In the email they advised that they were about to implement a requirement for the unique ID field.
I managed to modify our field fairly easily to produce this so I don't know when/if they've carried through on their intention to require a unique ID field. I believe that the other required ones in the Google link posted above will become increasingly 'required' if the feed is not to fail.
