Looks like it was committed to Chromium today https://codereview.chromium.org/566083003/ as per this spec http://www.w3.org/TR/SRI/

Huh! That looks awesome. :)

and instead of 'hash' it use 'integrity' attribute

To be clear, I was totally making up this proposal; I wasn't aware that there was a spec. Nothing should be read into the fact that I used "hash" and they use "integrity".

why does the "integrity" attribute use this strange fake-URL?

ni:///

why 3 slashes? any clue?

Could be

  ni:
  //
  <empty field>
  /

file:: URIs can have it, too (http://superuser.com/questions/352133/what-is-the-reason-tha...)

They cite RFC6920 [1], which uses the "host" portion of the URL as an optional "authority" field.

[1] http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6920#section-3

Because the ni scheme is separate from this proposal and it supports having a server there if you retrieve named information from somewhere else (implementation defined i think).
