Right, the (disused) CC-SA doesn't have the full attribution requirements of
CC-BY-SA. 

Nevertheless, I think some indication of source is, if not legally required,
then a really good idea, and I think this is true even for works explicitly
released into the public domain (as opposed to, say, trivial ones ineligible for
copyright, or stuff with obviously expired copyright). 

If nothing else, we'd want some sort of attempt to establish that it really was
released into the public domain (or under CC-SA).
