"Web servers that respond to the OPTIONS HTTP method expose what other 
methods are supported by the web server, allowing attackers to narrow and 
intensify their efforts."

Which feels like a bit of a stretch, it's only a problem if it enables 
other attacks and given the the number of HTTP methods it won't slow down 
any attacker.
It's a bit like saying "a login form exposes where to input user password 
for a brute-force attack" ;)
