Well, 'per-activity data stores' sounds like a large rewrite for the data-store, Journal, and every activity... i.e. not very likely. The 'start new vs. resume' design tries to provides a similar work flow but with minimal possible changes - it's pretty close to just moving the current hover palette functionality into a larger object chooser type dialogue. Hmmm, I wonder if we could/should augment the object chooser to also cover this case? Also worth taking note that the Apple iOS approach of letting the app deal 100% with the presentation of files/objects gives a real mixed bag of different attempts from each app developer, some do great work, others are rather confusing/weak, some don't bother at all. There is certainly little consistency when using one app vs. another, you have to re-learn what features are available and where the developer decided to place them.
