Might not make sense? Or might make sense?  I have played with SQLite a 
bit but not extensively, so I'm not aware of any major drawbacks. I do 
recall at the sprint lunch that SQLite was suggested by that fellow who 
was doing the email sprinting (can't remember his name, but he seemd to 
be a sharp cookie). SQLite, if it's solid, is attractive to me because 
it's built into PHP 5. Thinking down the road, it starts to look pretty 
good.
