This sounds like something we want to support. We were discussing today under what circumstances files and media libraries could usefully be put into the datastore; and how to support explicit sharing of 'published' materials in a way that can be programmatically loaded into the current working environment for other activities. > This won't work.

Then perhaps there's a need for world-readable space that each activity can control. Any activity that has network privileges can access these kinds of readable spaces on other machines; it should be able to access such spaces on its own machine as well.
