Right.

To me, it sounds like the first step in building either of these
systems (automatic p2p transfer, download from browse) is figuring out
a way to publish the activity icon so that we DON'T have to show a
question mark. I would much rather show the icon for the activity that
the child doesn't have, and perhaps badge it in some way to indicate
that they don't yet have it.

This seems desirable regardless of which solution we choose to
download the activity.
