I get that, but his argument is that you could do it with no additional work. "The beauty of this technique is that you are already using SQLite because it's such a powerful database; with no additional work, you can throw it on a static file server and others can easily query it over HTTP." I doubt very many of those already use sqlite. As soon as the additional work is added, its probably easier to just expose it as XML or JSON.
