Indeed, that seems entirely reasonable.

That's true, although in my experience, the refund delay after a local
commitment is often a period when the user may decide to do unexpected
things, because "something went wrong and a reinstall may fix it".

Right, but it does introduce some uncertainty: depending on the exact
nature of the close, something may or may not appear in the user's
wallet. I think that would have been the correct approach for BOLT 1,
but now I'd favor a well designed recovery tool. Since the Electrum
team is working on LN, maybe we could get them to support this simple
heuristic?
