Do you really need to do this? From my cursory look of the w3 spec
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec9.html, the options command
is all about establishing comms with your server - not your service. So
there is nothing to specify in your service is there!  Your not writing
specs for apache, nginx or whatever you have serving your application.

HTH, and if I'm wrong please let me know

All best
