The author of SQLite says that Public Domain scares corporate lawyers.
He says (paraphrasing, didn’t relisten):
No comment, otherwise, I don't know the CC licenses.
A vote for permissive, and IANAL, but it seems they vote explicit.

That's not such an issue here: we're licensing a document, not a piece of software. The rights on the specification of the API don't affect the rights on the API itself, which are not protected by copyright.
How should this spec be licensed?
I would be in favour of placing it into the public domain, or alternatively under some very permissive Creative Commons license.
