I know that my proposal doesn't meet your requirements, but then I disagree 
with your requirements.

More objectively, your proposal would replace an implicit permission in 
version 3 with an explicit prohibition in version 4. I really don't think 
that's a good idea for something this broad. Apart from anything else, I, 
personally, do want to allow aggregation with non-free works, but require 
sharealike for actual adaptations.

I do have a question for clarification. I can see how the CD case restricts 
your freedoms in the future. I don't see how the illustrated book goes beyond 
that. If my proposal does what I intend, you can strip the text out of the 
book and distribute your photographs in that layout. This would appear to 
preserve your freedom to use your works, or anyone else's BY-SA works.
