Hi Bryan,

I'll take a look at those proposals when drafting the BIP. I think for
LN, there is a single clean way to achieve outsourcability, but may be
compatible with other arrangements. I'm somewhat averse to proposing too
much flexibility before there's clear use-cases, though. However, if
others do have uses/examples for other sighash flags, I'd be very
interested while drafting this BIP!

Yeah, I think the nice thing about SegWit is that you resolve
malleability without worrying about replay attacks in the event of key
reuse. That's why I think it's only safe to do this new sighash type
inside segwit itself -- if you only wanted protection against
malleability you'd use segwit, and not touch this new sighash type
(you'd only use the new sighash flag if you actually need its features).
