Er... probably is a stupid question, but what would/did prevent
"database documents" from being zip archives just like OOWriter/OOCalc
etc... containing:
one really XML _file_ with all the tags wherever they want to be
one normal SQLite _file_/database, just when you use SQLite from the
command line
other auxiliary stuff?
In other words, why is the particular SQLite behavior you mention
above a problem for embedding it in OO.o?
