A couple points:
1) 1153 doesn't specify header trimming.
2) What you are actually asking for is a function of how your MUA
presents and displays digests to you, not of how the digests are
internally structured.
Given that 1153 digests don't mandate header trimming, and that there
are good reasons not to header trim (such as the bursting et al that
Barry referenced) MIME digests would seem the most attractive to you. A
good MUA will display them inline with minimal collapsed headers, much
like Mailman v1's not-quite-1153 digests, and will easily allow
individual reply to component messages from that digest.

Yup. Several MUAs do that.
