That's a really old idea - I proposed it about two years ago. The optimal way is to allow any txout to be replaced with one with an equal or greater nValue and same scriptPubKey, as well as additional txouts added. (obviously so long as none are removed)
Alas, there's lots of situations where this restricts you from doing useful things, for instance collapsing multiple payments into one by repeated updating to reduce tx size. Equally the benefit is marginal at best given how insecure unconfirmed transactions are - breaking what is already broken isn't a negative.
