Why is OPTIONS missing from this list?

Because it's not generally supported and vendors had concerns about 
it. If you can convince them, let me know.

:-). Oh well.

OK, I just tested with IE7 and Firefox2, which support it. I know that 
IE6 (with the ActiveX object) supports it as well. Opera 9 doesn't, and 
it seems to me that you're in a better situation to convince them.
