Nice, but I wonder to what degree mouthing the corresponding words aids in ASL communication?

That would go pretty badly, as mouth shape is significant to the language...

Are the mouth shapes made by ASL (and other sign-languages) mandatory and/or standard? I sort of had no idea they were part of the language if so -- having never really thought about it.
