[cc-community] CC needs a default form of attribution?

I can't figure out how attribution works in CC licenses - it looks to me
like there's a problem in the licenses' wording.
>From iterating toward openness - Why Not CC
By?<http://opencontent.org/blog/archives/366>:
'The Attribution requirement of all CC licenses, including CC By, states
"You must attribute the work in the manner specified by the author or
licensor." Now, I ask you - have you ever seen a page with a CC license that
specifies how the work should be attributed?'
As part of trying to clear things up, I created
http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Attribution as a stub, but I don't even know
if what I wrote was true... (I'll ask about that in a separate post).
So, two things:
* The CC licenses should specify a default form of attribution. Optional
plugins to specify a different form (as suggested in the blog post above)
would be nice, but less urgent.
* Can anyone help expand the attribution article?

You take dirt, you add more dirt in the form of chemical agents, and then
you put all that dirt somewhere else - usually into the water supply. Once
people appreciate that they make other things dirty when they make their
clothes clean, they think differently... What people don't understand is the
toxic chemistry behind the "whiter than white" look. - Gunther Pauli, head
