Correct, this is now mandatory.  

Gbrowse_moby is forgiving when it receives output data from non-
compliant services, but is API-compliant by always sending an
articleName when it passes data to a service (regardless of whether or
not that service checks it).

Newer versions of Taverna are *not* forgiving at all - both input and
output must have articleNames.

I don't know about other clients...

"Since the point of a definition is to explain the meaning of a term to
   someone who is unfamiliar with its proper application, the use of
language that doesn't help such a person learn how to apply the term is
 pointless. Thus, "happiness is a warm puppy" may be a lovely thought,
                     but it is a lousy definition."
