Yes, that is exactly what I was going to do if I use batts. I would install the top layer perpendicular to the bottom layer. It's a bit more work, but it would eliminate the "thermal bridging" at the trusses. That's the nice thing about adding sprayed insulation over top of the batts - it would fill in around protrusions, etc. and give you a more complete thermal barrier.
