If they want to make a proposal, they should have httpc://sha-256;... URLS which are essentially constant ones, same as SRI but for top-level domains.

Then we can really have security on the Web! Audit companies (even anonymous ones but with a good reputation) could vet certain hashes as being secure, and people and organizations could see a little padlock when M of N approved a new version.

As it is, we need an extension for that. Because SRI is only for subresource integrity. And it doesn't even work on HTML in iframes, which is a shame!

The linked proposal is basically a user-friendlier version of that, unless you have some other security property in mind that I've failed to properly understand.
