It depends. As is, they'd be relayed even as sending to future witness vers=
ions
or lengths is standard. If option 1 is chosen there may be reasons to add
safeguards using relay policy, though.

Possibly, but it's also possible that it won't get fixed at all, and instea=
d
receiver software just has to wait a few years longer before being able to =
start
giving out v1 addresses and have a reasonable chance the sender supports it=
.

You're right though that protecting old sender software from being protecte=
d
against the insertion bug is a good argument in favor of Option 2.

Strictly speaking it also has an issue, as the error detection properties a=
ren't
guaranteed for new-scheme-address + intended-detected-error interpreted as
old-scheme-address (in particular, you can make 4 substitution errors in
a new-scheme address and have it be a valid old-scheme address). This is mu=
ch
less of an issue than the insertion bug that remains present with Option 1 =
in
old senders.

Of course, our thinking here may change significantly over time - still, I =

it'll be years before something other than 32-byte addresses is desired.

Here is a BIP341 witness v1 address, corresponding to just the generator as
inner public key (using TapTweak(pubkey) as tweak, as suggested by the BIP)=
