Re: [CSP] "sri" source expression to enforce SRI

I agree, I'd love to see some traction with this.

Angular will soon be providing the appropriate script tags with
integrity values for each release:
https://github.com/angular/angular.js/issues/13968#issuecomment-181633726
This makes deploying SRI a matter of copy and paste.

SRI is much easier to deploy than CSP and only requires maintenance when
you change the script/style tag itself, CSP requires ongoing knowledge
and maintenance.
I think adoption of SRI will likely eclipse CSP relatively soon, I'm
betting with you, not against!
