Hi Joost,

Out of curiosity, what features and benefits are available today? I know Greg Sanders wants to use annex data with LN-Symmetry[1], but that's dependent on a soft fork of SIGHASH_ANYPREVOUT. I also heard you mention that it could allow putting arbitrary data into a witness without having to commit to that data beforehand, but that would only increase the efficiency of witness stuffing like ordinal inscriptions by only 0.4% (~2 bytes saved per 520 bytes pushed) and it'd still be required to create an output in order to spend it.

Is there some other way to use the annex today that would be beneficial to users of Bitcoin?
