Hello,<br><br>Aren't URNs already being very commonly used for hashes.  For example...<br><br>  urn:sha1:dRDPBgZzTFq7Jl2Q2N/YNghcfj8=<br><br>  urn:md5:FNG4c6MJLdDEY1rcoGb4pQ==<br><br>  urn:kzhash:0bf4c9a50c1058fb6887ad0419ecfc06dc192c69163ea2c45c632dab1cab1e1fbd6fbf1e

How about a hash attribute for all elements that link to external files (a, img, etc.)?<br><br>It would allow you to pass an MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, or other hash to a user-agent for automatic comparison with the linked file.
<br><br>I'd suggest a format where the hash algorithm is listed, followed by a forward slash and then the hash itself<br><br>Examples:<br>hash="MD5/9e107d9d372bb6826bd81d3542a419d6"<br>hash="SHA-1/2fd4e1c6 7a2d28fc ed849ee1 bb76e739 1b93eb12"
