I was wrong, will note in the post momentarily. Attribution by link
was added in 2.0, see http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/4216
The addition in 2.5 was more subtle -- allowing the licensor to say
that attribution should go to another party -- a journal or wiki were
the two use cases I remember.
You can see the changes in 4(c) of
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/1.0/legalcode

Apologies for confusing,
