Relatedly, in the draft, I liked this language:

"If the resource referenced by the URI in (v) includes the information
contained in (i) – (iii), above, You need only include the URI to
satisfy those requirements."

In the most frequent use case I've seen in the wild (flickr reuse)
this requirement in the old licenses was frequently violated, and the
new language seems to preserve the intent of the old license
(reasonable attribution) while making compliance simpler and more
likely.
