Badreddine,

Well, the aspect that I'm keen on with this SQLite format is that it is
trivially interchangable because it is a stock SQLite database using
stock types that any sqlite supporting application can easily utilize
or produce.

Short of seriously hamstringing SDF I doubt this could ever apply to it.
