Paul,

1) Licensor requests their attribution be removed from

In my opinion, the licensor can remove the attribution requirement on the
basis that the licensor can permit others to perform an action that is not
allowed by the licence. The fact is that you would be giving permission for
people not to attribute.

About the attribution stuff, I'd like to mention that the new 2.5 CC BY license has an area about removing attribution:

<snip>
4. Restrictions
a ****
If You create a Collective Work, upon notice from any Licensor You must, to the extent practicable, remove from the Collective Work any credit as required by clause 4(b), as requested. If You create a Derivative Work, upon notice from any Licensor You must, to the extent practicable, remove from the Derivative Work any credit as required by clause 4(b), as requested.
