Chris, this was what I was originally thinking of when I read about  
tag-uri's in the Atom Publishing Protocol (which I think are now  
defunct).

URN Schemes:
http://www.w3.org/TR/uri-clarification/

I don't know too much about URN Scheme's but I don't think they  
provide as much benefit as a hash would be (ugly as they are).  In the  
original email I alluded to canonical or easy to use identifiers that  
would be alias's for the hash:

>    <!-- Canonical name as an identifier for a JS lib and version -->
>    <script rel="jquery-1.2.3" src="..." />

Maybe a URN Scheme would be optimal for a canonical name, but I still  
like the SHA1 hash for verification/validation and dynamic growth.
