Yes. The spec includes the option of providing fallback URLs to fetch from, and gives the browser fairly broad freedom (as I read it) to fulfill the request so long as the response data matches the given hash. How this connects up with the other ideas being discussed in this thread isn't immediately clear to me, as DHTs in practice tend to be too slow to block on for most in-browser resources, but I'd definitely call it an intriguing development.
