Comment(by sj):

 The Journal should support grouping related works.

 A separate Library activity for organizing one's library of activities
 (code and content alike) would be a more significant improvement.  This
 should encompass the "highlight activities that show up on the desktop"
 screen currently hidden in the upper-right corner of the desktop view.
 [that view should filter up more metadata about the activities/bundles in
 question, as should all similar views]

 In general, bundles of organized information make good Journal entries the
 way bundles of code do (and .xo and .xol bundles need to be merged).
 Breaking them into component files removes their value to a greater or
 lesser degree.

 Remove the .xo vs .xol distinction and provide a way for non-coders to
 create a single-purpose-browser activity and icon for a given bundle of
 information, and everyone will have a single set of interfaces for
 organizing/viewing what they wish to regularly use / engage / share.
 People should not have to know how something they want to use is executed
 in code to know in which of two different interfaces they will find it.
