Not all these are requirements of an RPI, these are more things that will almost always be present if the mud is an RPI.
If roleplay is completely inforced, the world should be like a real world, not just a bunch of people and mobs. If people come back from the dead in a mud, and there is no strong IC reason for it, it can't be an RPI. Level-less is definitely important to an RPI, muds that have characters become more powerful by bashing around mobs or even muds that have characters become more powerful by RPing a lot (keep in mind RP abillity is OOC, so it shouldn't make your current char more powerful) are definitely not RPIs. Skill-based is good as long as the skills are realisticly done. In an RPI, you don't spend "practice points" to improve a skill, you improve it the same way you would in RL, by using it.
Just pointing out that the things you listed being true don't make a mud an RPI. A mud being an RPI will make those things be true.
