Well you seem to be arguing for the need for an option tag in a Require
header field rather than in a Supported header field. These are a
barrier to interoperability and therefore need to be very carefully
considered. 

The basis for your argument still seems to be very much: lets define one
because I might want one in the future. Conversely it might be: I need
an option tag but its use will be so perverted that I do not dare tell
the IETF community about it.
