Thanks.
My impression is we should implement our own solution either client side as in
your example or server side.
It looks to me like requestPermission and hasPermission need play no part in
this. This methods seem not to be very developed in the spec as the only field
you can pass to check is 'VIEWER'. Am I correct in thinking that it makes more
sense to deal with permissions for creating activities and sending messages in
our own way and not try to use this defined calls?

Implementing the UI flows to intercept this is something that
containers are responsible for. Each container tends to do this in a
different way.
You can subclass jsonrpccontainer.js and implement a better version of this:
JsonRpcContainer.prototype.requestCreateActivity =
function(activity, priority,
opt_callback) {
opt_callback = opt_callback || function() {};
var req = opensocial.newDataRequest();
var viewer = opensocial.newIdSpec({'userId' : 'VIEWER'});
req.add(this.newCreateActivityRequest(viewer, activity), 'key');
req.send(function(response) {
opt_callback(response.get('key'));
});
};
