Re: integrity-like property

Just to mention that I found out that including SRI (sub-resource integrity) is an open issue in JSON-LD  (https://github.com/w3c/json-ld-syntax/issues/108) and JSON-LD 1.1 mentions "Future versions of this specification may incorporate subresource integrity [SRI] "

IMHO it would have been really useful to have a third (optional) property similar to the "sub-resource integrity" tag used in HTML (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Security/Subresource_Integrity). What is your opinion? Is there any other way to provide some integrity information about external resources in the VC data model?
