That won't work because in general it is impossible to know which
transaction is the original. Did we add outputs to transaction A? Or remove
outputs from transaction B?

I think you're unnecessarily complicating use cases.
As for 0-conf security, there are instances where 0-conf transactions make
a lot of sense - i.e. paying for utilities, ISP, web hosting, or other such
