Josh already answered this perfectly, but for completeness, I want to point you to http://dba.openoffice.org/miscellaneous/dba20.html#whynot_sqlite. > Also, on a related note, I'm increasingly interested in RDF for > metadata, and its something I think OOo could exploiit more.

At the moment, there are no plans to support RDF in particular. Also, looking at the Mozilla project(s): They used RDF quite early in a lot of places, but my personal impression is that this is discussed controversal at the moment. They even seem to move from RDF to other storages for certain use cases (ironically, SQLite plays a role here :). See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=261861, for instance.
