Isn't this identical in spirit to Content-Centric Networking (CCN) as espoused by Van Jacobsen?

I distinctly remember watching his Google Tech Talk on the idea (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCZMoY3q2uM) when I first joined AeroFS.

Yes! In fact, this talk first appeared on Google Video, before it all got shunted into youtube (which was an acquisition)
