Hello,

I wanted to reopen this because, as the editor noted, "it
probably deserves a closer look again, especially from the context of an
optional reliability indicator that gives the user a warning rather that a
mandatory integrity check that blocks access to the file altogether."

This would be a very useful tool to allow user agents to detect if a file is
corrupted or tampered with in transit or on the server.  Since HTML5 now has
wider adoption with the basic features, now would be a good time to add this
feature to the specification.

Any further discussion?
