There have been several proposals to add an attribute to <script>,
<link>, etc. containing a SHA1 hash or so of the file pointed to by
the tag.  The primary usecase was for browsers to be able to detect if
a third-party CDN may be attempting to hijack the site by changing the
JavaScript, etc.  But, the ability to cache the same files across
domains was also touted as a benefit.

None of them seem to have gotten very far, though.  :-(
