I like this too.
Some tweaks:
1) Nomenclature: call tx_size "tx_cost" and real_size "tx_bytes"?
2) If we have a reasonable hard *byte* limit, I don't think that we need
the MAX(). In fact, it's probably OK to go negative.
3) ... or maybe not, if any consumed UTXO was generated before the soft
fork (reducing Tier's perverse incentive).
4) How do we measure UTXO size? There are some constant-ish things in
there (eg. txid as key, height, outnum, amount). Maybe just add 32
to scriptlen?
5) Add a CHECKSIG cost. Naively, since we allow 20,000 CHECKSIGs and
1MB blocks, that implies a cost of 50 bytes per CHECKSIG (but counted
correctly, unlike now).
This last one implies that the initial cost limit would be 2M, but in
practice probably somewhere in the middle.
tx_cost = 50*num-CHECKSIG
+ tx_bytes
+ 4*utxo_created_size
- 3*utxo_consumed_size

Now cost == 352.
