I think this would require an entirely new user interface to make it abundantly clear that publisher and distributor are seperate roles and can be seperate entities.

I don't think this should be shoehorned into the URL bar or into some meta info that no one ever reads hidden behind some obscure icon.

Isn't it already the case though with CloudFlare and other CDNs serving most of the content? Very few people really get their content from the actual source server anymore.

That's a good point. I just feel that there is an important distinction to be made between purely technical distribution infrastructure like Cloudflare's and the sort of recontextualisation that happens when you publish a video on Youtube. I'm not quite sure where in between these two extremes AMP is positioned.
