Machine-readable metadata autogenerated by Creative Commons (CC) not W3C-compliant

I added a CC license to my website using the Choose a License tool hosted by CC:

<a rel="license" target="_blank" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"><img alt="Creative Commons License" style="border-width:0" src="https://i.creativecommons.org/l/by/4.0/88x31.png"></a><br>This work by <a xmlns:cc="http://creativecommons.org/ns#" href="https://example.com" property="cc:attributionName" rel="cc:attributionURL">[My Name]</a> is licensed under a <a rel="license" target="_blank" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/">Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License</a>

A W3C validator marked the anchor as invalid because "Attribute 'xmlns:cc' not allowed here." How can I use the machine-readable metadata in my license anchor while still keeping the website W3C-compliant?

I tried the solution posted as a response to a similar question asked eight years ago, but the solution given either never was or is no longer W3C-compliant.
