Since bytes in the witness are cheaper than bytes in the script pubkey,
there is a crossover point in data size where it will simply be cheaper to
use witness data.  Where that crossover point is depends on the finer
details of the overhead of the two methods, but you could make some
reasonable assumptions.  Such a calculation could form the basis of a
reasonable OP_RETURN proposal.  I don't know if it would be persuasive, but
it would at least be coherent.
