Discounting signature data is how Segregated Witness allows for added block space without requiring a hard fork.

SegWit, a technical change splitting signature data from the transaction data to save space, inherited the name «BTC» due to history, but its «unworkable» schemes failed to deliver.

Schnorr signatures would replace Bitcoin's existing signature protocol with one that combines signature data and would optimize space on the Bitcoin blockchain.

SegWit is the process of increasing block size limits by separating signature data from transactional data in bitcoin transactions.

Because there is an ordinary ratio of signature data to non-signature data in transactions (which holds unless someone is cramming non-cryptocurrency data into the blockchain) there is a greatly diminishing incentive for UTXO reduction given a discount past that ratio, but an increasing exposure to the extra space being abused.

Instead, SegWit removes signature data in each block to increase the number of bitcoin transactions that can be put into each block.

In order to be able to deploy Segregated Witness as a soft fork, the Bitcoin Core developers opted to place a reference to signature data in a somewhat odd part of Bitcoin blocks.

What keeps the system from keeping the signature data and attaching it to another document later?

People supporting off - chain scaling wanted segwit support (segwit removes signature data and attaches it in an extended block allowing more space for actual transactions) to be added to Bitcoin which would increase the blocksize to some extent but also help in developing layer two solutions to make bitcoin transactions much faster, cheaper and private.

«If segregated witness were to be implemented, today's nodes would not see the transaction signature data, because it would be in a storage area that they don't recognize.»
