Another possibility is that the option "expense" would become income to the employee requiring the payment of tax. If the option "expense" is considered a labor expense it is hard to find that the option grant is not a payment to an employee.

The next question is what happens if the option never vests or expires because it is under water.

The almost certain result of expensing options is that employees will get screwed and executives will get covered.
