I think the reason this is not done is it would leak to the website if the user had previously downloaded the same file from a different website.

  Sure. And you can do the same thing with a CDN file by timing how long it takes to load. Sub millisecond means cache.

    It's why newer versions of Firefox and Safari use segmented caches. Which, of course, means that loading fonts from a CDN no longer buys you anything at all.

      Chrome as well. (The zdnet article above is about Chrome, which shipped this last year.)
