Also by the way, I agree that expensing the options (GAAP, not taxes) as they vest is the logical way to do it. This is, from what I understand, how KO will be doing it.

My understanding is that Coke will have two investment houses value the stock options as they are granted, but that that this value will be written off over the entire vesting period. Consequently, I think the value of the options will be written off before the options actually vest four years later.
