It still doesn't.  There is a place where it says "Version 1.2 or any later
version published by the Free Software Foundation", which was added in March
2007.  But CC-by-sa is not published by the FSF, and the word "published",
according to Wiktionary, is in the past tense (and I have not clicked submit
since Version 1.3 was released).  So that argument fails in many ways,
before even getting to the problems with GFDL 1.3 itself.
