The answer is both that it isn't going to happen and that attribution
with a link gets you the same functionality and more, without the
problems.  See previous discussions, including:

https://lists.ibiblio.org/sympa/arc/cc-licenses/2005-October/002727.html
https://lists.ibiblio.org/sympa/arc/cc-licenses/2005-November/002987.html

Further discussion should probably go to cc-community.

Thanks!
