If you are signing locally things that you are loading from remote
servers there is no longer ANY security. The servers should contain 
jars already signed by you (or someone you delegate your trust to), 
and you should never try to re-sign them locally!. 

It could be very useful that together with the version you could specify
other attributes (such as who signs them) to ant for automatic download.

However, I don't think we should  replace the current (runtime) dynamic
class loading mechanism with this. Not always at compile time you know
everything you need, and you want to change codebases (or actual classes
for the same codebase in the new SF)  without stopping the
daemon or "re-compiling"...  

 Instead it could be very useful if the "web server" that has the
"smarts" to find for ANT the right jars (with  version or other info) is
compatible with dynamic class loading (i.e., downloads a jar file from a
URL with all the "extra" requirements embedded in the (optional) parts
of the URL...).
