Can't we come up with better terms than "clocks allowed" and "clocks optional"

No offense to those who came up with these terms, and maybe they are the best that can be done, but I'm not convinced. Neil has tried a new one. Anyone else?

We've got lawyers, mathematicians, and every other profession under the sun here. I think we can do better. I can think of a few, but they aren't great. Someone can do better.

In computer science there are XOR (exclusive 'OR') and OR (inclusive). In math (sets) there are Unions (either or) and Intersections (both). I'm sure just about every discipline has similar concepts. Now we need the right words.
