Very interesting.

What did you use as a Spatialite JDBC connection?  Is this pure Java, or 
JNI?

H2 is more appealing to me since it's pure Java - but up til now it 
hasn't had very good spatial support.  The Hatbox project might help 
with that.  It would be nicer to see this capability integrated into the 
original H2 codebase (but then that hasn't seemed to have slowed down 
Spatialite at all, so maybe I worry too much...)

H2 I think also is more flexible than Sqlite - e.g. in-memory databases, 
etc.  But Sqlite is certainly getting deployed in a LOT of large 
projects, so its longevity seems assured.

I guess it would be good to support both!
