In theory, couldn't one gain of demurrage be that the fees could be proportional to the amount of money being "secured" (stored)? Inflation is across-the-board, but demurrage could be more targetted.

I think you mean to say 'non-proportional'.

Fees higher than linear -> sybil attack brings them back to linear.

Fees lower than linear -> store value in shared accounts aka banks.
