How is your proposal different to what's happening here? If two websites call a library from the same CDN that implements immutable, then isn't that just a distributed package manager with URL-based namespacing?

The problem will be that every website should use the same CDN. Not likely to happen and centralize things is never good.

You'll also miss other features: version range alone could save tons of bandwidth.
