Comment(by tomeu):

 Replying to [comment:9 Eben]:
 > Likewise, we can carry this over to external devices by treating copied
 objects (from object-centric view) as simple files, while wrapping up an
 activity closure as, perhaps, a zip bundle containing the object file(s),
 a state blob, and perhaps a .info or similar to tell Sugar how to put it
 back together later.

 We already have something like this implemented. We'll need to serialize
 journal entries for other scenarios like uploading to a website,
 transferring with tubes, etc.

 My only concern is how we could represent such an entry in the UI. I think
 we could lay the items inside the zip file in such a way so that
 extracting the svg icon and the metadata would be efficient. Perhaps by
 storing those inside the zip file without compression.
