This implies a floor on the funds involved in a contract.  For example, 
if the pinning transaction is 100,000 vbytes at a feerate of 1 sat/vb, 
the minimum contract amount must be a bit over 100,000 sats (about $17 
USD at current prices).  However, participants in a contract not meant 
to settle immediately probably need to assume the worst case future 
pinning, for example where transactions paying even 100 sat/vb won't be 
mined promptly; in which case the minimum contract amount becomes 
something like $1,700 USD.

That seems sub-optimal to me.
