Thanks for the quick response, Bryan. Some comments inline...

Aren't there some pretty good packages for this already? E.g., BDB-JE,
JDBM, Perst, etc.?
Right, there are other open-source offerings in this area. I think that
Derby's feature set, maturity, and attractive license could occupy a
unique spot in this space.
Speaking totally personally, I'd sure like to see Derby focus on the
things that make it special:
- complete and correct JDBC implementation
- complete and correct SQL implementation
- low footprint, zero-admin reliable multi-user DBMS
Absolutely, Derby should continue to be all of the above. But I think
that a Derby Lite option could help us grow our community.
