Personally, I think there should be adequate room for differences in
the attribution requirement (if such a requirement is needed at all in
the candidate license). Otherwise it may happen that no license will
ever be considered as Compatible...

I am thinking about the GNU GPL text, for instance, where some form of
attribution is implicitly required, but not in the same manner as
dictated by CC licenses.
