I am catching up with the latest dev of lightning.
I thought you wanted SIGHASH_NOPINPUT in order
to fix the problem of storage requirement.

I have not thought about using private key on HD.
However, I think the index (also used for derivation)
of the commitment would need to be stored in the
transaction.
So if Bob notice old commitment, he does not have
to bruteforce what was the key he used.

I re-read slowly your post on bitcoin-dev about
SIGHASH_NOINPUT, and noticed the problem it
was to fix was for third party monitoring.

But that the linear storage of the channel participant
was a problem already solved. I'm synching. :)
