I agree with Jason. Until a pressing need is identified for this feature, I would not introduce it in the next rev. of the spec. In the versioning protocol, we have been using live properties to reflect information that varies from resource to resource, while using OPTIONS only for information about "capabilities of the server", i.e. information that is the same for all resources implemented by a given server.

To me, the underlying issue is: Do clients need to be able to query the capabilities of all resources in a collection hierarchy in one network round trip? >> Unless someone speaks out vigorously in favor of OPTIONS with depth header, I suggest that we remain silent on that (to leave ourselves this option in the future) and leave it on the issues list.
