Very interesting! I'm trying to wrap my head around this. I see a potential security issue with the "refund timeouts". What if Alice post her tx just before the timeout elapses, resulting in Bob never get the chance to receive his BURST? Could you elaborate on that?

Bob's AT must have have less length (expiration) than Alice's AT.So in case Alice sends the TX with the key to Bob's AT just before the expiration, Bob will have time to send the key to Alice's AT afterwards.

Can this be enforced by the AT code or must the trade participants agree on the timeouts?

No it cannot be enforced by the AT code itself as the AT on one side is not aware of the other AT. When user A initiates the ACCT then user B can see the timeout and use a proper one when creating the response ACCT.
