As a long-time volunteer with ODFA (formerly OOA), I can promise that we
(AOO) can get documents from them. The cost of this option is (1) a
legal review and approval of CC-BY v3; (2) some storage (WG v3.2 is 15.5
MB, so call it 100 or 200 MB per version, probably as .odt and .pdf
files on the Mwiki. The download volume/bandwidth has been too low to
cause any problems, but I have no stats); and (3) a little politeness.
Point (1), like all legal reviews, sounds scary, but it could be quite
easy: http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#category-a says

For the purposes of being a dependency to an Apache product, which

Now, besides the fact that the license is called "CC-A" instead of
"CC-BY" (but the name and link make it clear it's CC-BY), and the fact
that the link is to version 2.5 and not version 3.0, Point (1) should
already be done.
What's needed is just to open a LEGAL JIRA issue like
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-117
but merely asking whether CC-BY 3.0
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/legalcode
can be considered "Category A" and added to / mentioned in
http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#category-a
