_at_OPTIONS

Hi!

The 1.0 spec in 3.3.5 claims:
> [...] Call a method annotated with a request method designator for
OPTIONS [...]

However such annotation doesn't seem to exist.

I see the following in the Draft Changelog for JSR 000311 - JAX-RS 1.1
[1]:
> C009 Enhancement Add an @OPTIONS annotation to complete the set of
pre-defined method designators.

Am I right in assuming that @OPTIONS was intended in 1.0, but somehow
forgotten?

If so, when is JAX-RS 1.1 expected and if it's not anytime soon, could
there be a Jersey-specific OPTIONS annotation added in the meanwhile?

Regards,
