How attribution is done isn't defined by the CC licenses, so what do
we mean by attribution?

Being able to incorporate the documentation into WordPress itself
seems desirable. That isn't possible with a CC license.

When you start to try and unravel all of the issues, public domain
quickly becomes the only real option for a high collaborative, highly
flexible project. Consider Tantik and Microformats recent change to
this:
