I think that the man's footwork is pretty much a universal standard other than the variations wer see now when the man is in a spread eagle or has one leg raised etc. But for for the basic rotating lift, the man does a series of mohawks and foward steps.

It's been a while since I read the pair regs...but...AFAIR
When turning, it is a bad thing if the guy is kicking up significant amounts of snow. So a nice edge rather than skating on flats is better, but not a specific requirement or a feature. It's a GOE issue.
If he's on one foot doing a long carry, or in a spread eagle doing a carry, etc, those would be features. Depending on other features, they might get an extra level for them.

It's also a safety issue. Maxim Marinin was known for his messy mowhawks, and we all know what happened there...

Maybe the guys at Mythbusters will do a segment on the fabled "no hands crotch lift".
