Actually, conditionally required fields would be a very nice addition. 
I built this site earlier this year, which has conditionally required 
fields.

https://www.edentiti.com/create/details.jsf

See the Postal Address section.  It's required unless it's the same as 
the residential address.  If you check the "Use residential address" 
checkbox, the fields are no longer required.  If you uncheck it again, 
they are.  The JS updates the fields as soon as you check or uncheck the 
box.
