I would suggest a combination:

OPTION-CODE

OPTION-LENGTH

| D | U | S | V |             RESERVED

STALE-RRSET-INDEX 1

TTL-EXPIRY 1

...


V - verbose flag.  Set to 1 by client if they want the individual
stale-rrset-index's returned.

    Set to 0 if they only want the flags returned.

One week sounds good as a default maximum (MAY be configurable).

30 seconds is good. (May be configurable)

Agreed. (MAY be configurable)

Yes, that is worth mentioning, since some users won't immediately think of
that, and implementers should plan for that, so that compatible
implementations work the same.
