No, it is not what I want but I would be prepared to live with that if it
meant that the photos I would rather were BY-SA could not be used in ARR for
profit books, magazines, newspapers and the like without my OK. If I am
correct, it would let my BY-SA photos be used in BY-SA books, magazines,
newspapers and the like without needing my OK.

I sort of hate that way of doing things as it seems to make for multiple,
non-compatible BY-SA works.

Nothing in this makes me comfortable. I would rather a proper fix but am
looking at alternatives in the mean time.

I certainly do remember. I have tried to get an actual discussion going on a
number of occasions concerning possible triggers other than derivation to let
this work but I can't seem to remember getting very far.

Is having these discussions in cc-community not count as participating in the
upcoming 4.0 process? If not, what does count?

I think it would be a good enough place to start if we could look at how music
gets protected in movies and videos in the BY-SA world and consider how to
give other works that same level of copyleft protection where sync rights do
not come into play.
