Yeah really, I did not realize that...  Is MySQL so forward about the artistic 
license it takes with my constraints?  Further, I am pretty damn sure that 
SQLite isn't trying to come across as ACID-compliant.

And while I realize I'm stretching for reasons to like SQLite now I do want to 
make note that most systems that would implement SQLite are using it strictly 
for a lite SQL layer in which to work -- especially since SQLite has no 
network layer at this time.  Having the 'C' in ACID isn't nearly as important 
if you're the only app capable of accessing the DB (crazily contrived 
examples of file locking and such preemptively excluded).
