Yea, actually, I think that’d be a really cool idea. Obviously you don’t want to hold onto an HTLC for much longer than you have to or you’re DoS’ing yourself using up channel capacity, but most channels spend the vast majority of their time with zero HTLCs, so waiting a second instead of 100ms to batch seems totally reasonable.
