Mid- to late 2000/early 2001, after the 2nd iteration (using Ed’s terminology), 
but before the third.

IIRC, there were some resolvers that reacted poorly to receiving unanticipated 
RRs in response to a “normal” query and there were some concerns about the 
amount of bandwidth signed authoritative servers would consume with useless 
information, particularly at the earliest stages of deployment (this was the 
early 2000s after all). The idea was for a resolver to signal its willingness 
to receive and process DNSSEC-related responses to as to avoid flooding 
DNSSEC-unaware resolvers with stuff they had no clue about.

At some point, biting the bullet and introducing actual feature negotiation 
into DNS may be warranted...
