I fully agree with Herb's conclusion, even if the final wording in draft 
4 seems to be "in any reasonable manner" (instead of "where reasonably 
practicable"... actually "if reasonably practicable" just concerns the 
mention of the URI or the removal of unwanted attribution).

(Disclosure: I have a conflict of interest, being the public lead of 
Creative Commons Italia.)

Best,
