Actually, we could introduce graftroot-like delegation to all existing =
and new P2PK and P2PKH UTXOs with a softfork:

1. Define SIGHASH_GRAFTROOT =3D 0x40. New rules apply if (nHashType & =
SIGHASH_GRAFTROOT)

2. The third stack item MUST be at least 64 bytes, with 32-byte R and =
32-byte S, followed by a script of arbitrary size. It MUST be a valid =
signature for the script with the original public key.

3. The remaining stack items MUST solve the script

Conceptually this could be extended to arbitrary output types, not just =
P2PK and P2PKH. But it might be too complicated to describe here.

(We can=E2=80=99t do this in P2WPKH and P2WSH due to the implicit =
CLEANSTACK rules. But nothing could stop us to do it by introducing =
another witness structure (which is invisible to current nodes) and =
store the extra graftroot signatures and scripts)

A graftroot design like this is a strict subset of existing signature =
checking rules. If this is dangerous, the existing signature checking =
rules must be dangerous. This also doesn=E2=80=99t have any problem with =
blind signature, since the first signature will always sign the =
outpoint, with or without ANYONECANPAY. (As I pointed out in my reply to =
Andrew, his concern applies only to SIGHASH_NOINPUT, not graftroot)


=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

With the example above, I believe there is no reason to make graftroot =
optional, at the expense of block space and/or reduced privacy. Any =
potential problem (e.g. interaction with blind signature) could be fixed =
by a proper rules design.=
