Well it does refer to using the URIs as specified by the
licensor 4(c)(iii):

"to the extent reasonably practicable, the URI, if any, that Licensor
specifies to be associated with the Work...."

And it also mentions that the licensor specifies who is to be credited
4(c)(i):

"...if the Original Author and/or Licensor designate another party or
parties
(e.g., a sponsor institute, publishing entity, journal) for attribution
("Attribution
Parties") in Licensor's copyright notice, terms of service or by other
reasonable means, the name of such party or parties"

I guess I walked away from reading it under the impression that the licensor
and/or original author would be the judge of whether the attribution is
"reasonable." Can't say there's explicit language stating this, it just
seemed
to follow and makes common sense, really.
