As I read the attribution license, it only requires that any copies or derivative works attribute the author. What I need is something that also requires them to include my contact information. There are a zillion Scott Allens in the world. I'm happy to put much of my work out there under this license, but if I do, I want to make sure people who want can find their way to the right Scott Allen, which would mean making sure that my contact information -- website, e-mail, telephone, and perhaps my title & company -- were included.

Presumably your website includes all other contact info. The 2.0 draft requires a URI specified by the licensor be included in attribution. See <http://creativecommons.org/drafts/license2.0#4d>.
