Well, apart from the obvious:

stale-if-error: consistent naming with other cache control directives
sie: saving 11 octets

it comes down to the usual fight between good taste and efficiency,  
or? Java and C naming schemes, UNIX and Windows, BMW and Mercedes  
Benz, Mars and Venus. Some would say "stale-if-error" is more girlie  
and "sie" is a manly name.

On the other hand, legend has it, that D. Ritchie, when asked what he  
would do different in UNIX, said: "Well, I would name it create()  
next time."

Hell, if I know. Throw a dice.
