I'm wondering if we should represent an application as a channel or as a set of
channels. For example an Abiword session could include a Text channel, a
DBusTube channel and one day maybe a Call channel.
So maybe that should be a(oa{sv}) instead. That would also fit better with MC
which always present channels by batch if they are related.
Downside is how are we supposed to join an activity then as we can't request
more than one channel at the same time? Maybe it's time to introduce
CreateChannels() as we already suggested when discussing multi filter transfer
stuffs?

On an unrelated topic, I'm wondering if we should have a dictionnary to store
activity specific properties (as the OLPC activity properties). Or maybe we
could use the tube channel properties dict for that?
