Would it make sense that, instead of sponsor vectors
pointing to txids, they point to input outpoints?  E.g.:

1. Alice and Bob open a channel with funding transaction 0123...cdef,
   output 0.

2. After a bunch of state updates, Alice unilaterally broadcasts a
   commitment transaction, which has a minimal fee.

3. Bob doesn't immediately care whether or not Alice tried to close the
   channel in the latest state---he just wants the commitment
   transaction confirmed so that he either gets his money directly or he
   can send any necessary penalty transactions.  So Bob broadcasts a
   sponsor transaction with a vector of 0123...cdef:0

4. Miners can include that sponsor transaction in any block that has a
   transaction with an input of 0123...cdef:0.  Otherwise the sponsor
   transaction is consensus invalid.

(Note: alternatively, sponsor vectors could point to either txids OR
input outpoints.  This complicates the serialization of the vector but
seems otherwise fine to me.)

I don't think package relay based only on feerate solves RBF transaction
pinning (and maybe also doesn't solve ancestor/dependent limit pinning).
Though, certainly, package relay has the major advantage over this
proposal (IMO) in that it doesn't require any consensus changes.
Package relay is also very nice for fixing other protocol rough edges
that are needed anyway.
