Interesting problem, thanks for raising the discussion.

According to the Sugar HIG, activity instances "provide a way to
handle files as objects; each instance may represent a different group
of collaborating individuals, and creating a new instance of the Draw
activity implicitly creates a new drawing."

By the way, I think this is the kind of things we should ask to our
users, and revisit the HIG.  Do they actually take adventage of
multiple instances?  How many times? In which user-cases?
