  That would be great for land units defending (by counterattack) 
cities, fortresses or some other important spots. Current behavior of 
waking up when unit is fully healed is often useful for ships far from 
safe ports. (I rather 'hide' my damaged ship in the middle of the sea 
than try to push through enemy controlled canals)

  My modification of the proposal: Sentried units only wake up when
  (
    - it had less than max hit points when put to sentry
      *and*
    - has now reached max hit points
  ) *or* (
    - other nation units are in sight which I'm in war with
      *and*
    - my unit is able to attack the approaching unit.
  )
