I agree that signaling is important, and i also believe that if
there's an OPT in the request, we can safely assume that the client
would not choke on this option. I'm torn on the question whether or
not stale data should be served (without signaling, in that case) when
the request does *not* contain an OPT request. Probably we should err
on the side of *not* serving stale when a client is not "EDNS
capable", because that would mean no change from current behaviour.
