Yeah, it feels like there should be some patterns that you could reasonably convincingly argue don't have any additional DoS risk when used in P2SH.

I created a draft BIP (note: the numbering isn't actually allocated)

https://github.com/TierNolan/bips/blob/bip4x/bip-0046.mediawiki

and also one about hash releases

https://github.com/TierNolan/bips/blob/bip4x/bip-0045.mediawiki

The hash release one is more critical.  You can do the if thing with multiple transactions.

What do we reckon is the next move to get this stuff accepted? The cross-chain stuff is really important, and it seems a shame to be kludging around the oracle branching use-cases with multiple transactions or by torturing ECDSA keys in all kinds of unmentionable ways.
