I haven't seen one, but that would be very beneficial, it would not only make everything faster, but also avoid the privacy concerns and remove the additional point of failure that external CDN creates.

Absolutely. Actually in that case we could just do something like this:

    <link rel="stylesheet" hash="b6792c2dcaafc7678f18236f6e7289152756a14f" href="...."></link>

Now that I look at it.. where do we suggest this to the web people?

You could use a magnet "link" (which is really just a hash anyways) to pull the file from the Kademlia DHT.

well, that would not work well with backwards compatibility, also it adds extra protocol to implement to browser vendors (extra bugs, here they come :)
