*Shrug* I work with lots of non-human-readable data so I don't see it as a 
major problem :) And the sqlite blob APIs are pretty simple (just pass a 
pointer and a size.)

Yes you can. Blobs support equality tests. If you need to compare them or 
create an index, you just define a custom collation function (I've done it; 
it's pretty easy.)
