I'm confused, I thought spatialite support was being added to ogr in 1.7 . http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_sqlite.html
As to ESRI, I asked at the last DOI meeting prior to the ESRI conference
this year about spatialite support and they said they had no plans to
support it. Of course, they used to say the same thing about
postgresql/postgis and if spatialite is implimented in ogr it will probably
be included down the road.

I heard someone say once that a specification isn't a standard unless
there is more than one implementation (preferably more). Is there any
other way to read or write a spatialite file than sqlite itself?
It's also not a standard without a specification -- is there one (other
than the source code, which, of course is the only truly accurate
specification).
Also -- do ESRI tools read or write it? Like it or not, they are the
elephant in the room. My ESRI-using colleagues want to distribute data
in the ESRI geodatabase format -- I don't like that, as I don't use ESRI
tools, but I can't suggest an alternative that won't work for them.
Sigh.
