duke,

Perhaps the "cost" of granting stock options should be amortized over its life wherein if a stock option is exercised the remainder of the expense is recognized in the period which it is exercised. Conversely, if a stock option expires worthless, this offsets the expense.

The argument should not be about whether stock options should be expensed, or whatnot. The true argument should be whether companies can issue "pro forma" numbers. That, in my opinion, is the problem.
