How do you believe a web statement differs from the attribution URL, functionally?
IIRC a "web statement" is supposed to be a web accessible resource that contains information about the rights, permissions, etc related to the work. CC licenses state that the attribution URL only needs to be cited with the work when it includes copyright information or license notice (4(b)(iii) in http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/legalcode). So both need to be web-accessible resources that contain license, copyright, or rights information. I believe that was the basis for treating them as synonyms.
