What If OpenDocument Used SQLite?
I'm a big fan of SQLite, but this kind of marketing puts me off a bit. ZIP and XML are popular standards with dozens of implementations. The only thing that can read an SQLite DB is SQLite, AFAIK.To be sure, SQLite is very well supported, runs on tons of platforms and is going to be around for a long time. But still, it is less archival quality, and more inherently complex (even though that complexity is very well encapsulated).
