I'm working on a Firefox add-on that would support this, however I would like
to see this as a native implementation in browsers.

My suggestion would be to simplify the tag like this: 

<a href="..." checksum="md5:e10c75da3d1aa147ddd4a5c58bfc3646">

Both the hash method and the value could be stored in one attribute.
Also as an alternative one might agree on a data-attribute, for example:

<a href="..." data-checksum="md5:e10c75da3d1aa147ddd4a5c58bfc3646">

This is what my Firefox add-on uses right now.
