Hey Jared,
Perhaps I haven't looked a the spec recently but I thought with geopackage
geometry objects were supposed to be represented as blobs so that it could
be used without the need for any other libraries like spatialite. Unless
there is some sort of type aliasing going on?
As for updating bounds in gpkg_contents automatically I am thinking that
the driver should put some triggers in place to do this. We could re-use
the functions that Niels implemented for spatial indexing capabilities to
pull out the min/max x/y from geometry blobs for this.
