I believe there is much consensus that it is hard to make the case for 
ontology in the abstract, in particular since the presentation needs to 
vary depending on the audience. Thus, I would suggest to follow option 
1. The resulting document maybe not more than "solid background material 
for writing a document focused on making the case", but in my opinion 
that would be a valuable resource to have.
