Sorry AJ, my prior email was not constructive :(

I consider the "my software reused my keys" the most reasonable attack
scenario, though still small compared to other lightning attack surfaces.

But I understand the general wariness of third-parties reusing
SIGHASH_NOINPUT signatures.

Since "must have a non-SIGHASH_NOINPUT" rule addresses the first reuse
scenario (as well as the second), I'd be content with that proposal.
Future segwit versions may choose to relax it.[1]

Cheers,
Rusty.
[1] Must be consensus, not standardness; my prev suggestion was bogus.
