Those added words would be the ideal place to add a cc:requires
cc:Notice annotation. I assume the current text was crafted very
carefully, so I've no opinion. Without the added words, maybe a span
around "do so".

Another option would be to remove the Notice statement from the RDF/XML
as well and change the schema such that cc:Notice is a subclass of
cc:Attribution. This would reflect how most people bundle the concepts,
including now on the deeds, and also outside CC -- some people call BSD
and MIT attribution licenses, though their only such requirement is to
retain copyright notices. I'd recommend getting more expert semweb
feedback before implementing this option.
