I imagine several clumps of icons, each group having in common a 
single identifier, so the user can visually select which other RP's 
may learn about their new activities, or elect to use a new 
identifier instead. The similarity between this "solution" and a 
known problem ("Nascar") doesn't seem like a good sign, though.
