I am curious: are these the only concerns you have with using the RFC 6920?

One benefit of having content type as separate meta-data is the
browser can send that and only that in the "accept" header. Regardless
of whether the format is RFC6920 or not, I do think this is useful.

I agree that reading a 20 page doc for something so simple is kinda
ridiculous: at first glance, there do seem to be things in it that are
unnecessary for the SRI use-case. But, at first glance---maybe others
are able to come up with scenarios where those things are useful too.
