RE: Nonces/hashes in source expressions.

Thanks for the link, it's very informative. The only reservation I have is
that it seems to imply a 1:1 relationship between the URL and the resource
being described (modulo collisions). Nonces are meant to collide, probably
multiple times on a single page.

That said, I don't feel strongly about the format. I'd be happy to adopt
that format wholesale, assuming the general idea (which, the more I think
about, the more strongly I favor) is acceptable.
