Good morning t-bast,

Further, we can enforce that RBF is signalled for every spend of the output by:

<0> OP_CHECKSEQUENCEVERIFY OP_DROP <R> OP_SWAP OP_CAT <ACINQ> OP_CHECKSIG

Requiring that RBF is signalled gives a little more assurance.
Suppose ACINQ becomes evil and double-spends the output.
The transaction that is posted in the mempool must be marked by RBF due to the `OP_CHECKSEQUENCEVERIFY` opcode, since `nSequence` also doubles as RBF opt-in.
Then anyone who notices the double-spend can RBF the double-spending transaction to themselves rather than ACINQ.
This also further publishes ACINQ private key, until the winning transaction has an `OP_RETURN` output that pays the entire value as fees and nobody can RBF it further.

This is a minor increase in the assurability of the construction, by making any output that is double-spent directly revocable in favor of the miners.
Again, it requires `OP_CAT`, which is a very dangerous opcode, allowing such powerful constructions.
