I was thinking more of the lines of the first steps towards distributed assets. Maybe something like
<img src="images/cat.jpg" some-new-attr="ipfs://mdgpreefl215jfeiwef2456/cat.jpg">
Or maybe `some-new-attr` could be a 2nd src? In any case, it's only to deal with asset distribution. One of the challenges with something like YouTube is simply the infrastructure to host all that content, as well as content/videos disappearing when YouTube decides they don't want to host it. With IPFS, you could reduce the server load on the content creator and also give the asset permanency if it's popular enough to be seen/rehosted by others.
The img tag example isn't that great of an example I'll admit. But it could eventually be extended to permanence of the entire page/site. Although there are already better tools suited for that, like ZeroNet.
