The problem...
How to find a 'top block'... either
(1) we have to already know about it on-fetch (long chk uri)
(2) it needs to be derived from existing fetch data (like my idea)
(3) a new mechanism needs to be made (like ssk-top-blocks/matthew's- 
multiplier idea)

At this point, I'm greatly favoring Matthew's idea of multi-content- 
hash/ssk keys.

However, some alternative names to try on...

Reliable Fetch Key      RFK
Reliable Hash Key       RHK
Multiple Hash Key       MHK
Multi-link Key  MLK
Matthew's Multiplier Key        MMK

And maybe with "N" in the extra data so as to not introduce a new  
syntax... it is still fetch-time data after all!
