I'm thinking about storing osm data in a lite database backend for general 
client software usage and to begin a binary distribution of planet.osm (last 
import started at 12.00 this morning and is not yet finished).
As last discussions was projected in coordinating developing jobs, i think we 
should talk about this idea before someone (me?) begin to write some code!
We could start in choosing between BerkleyDB or SQLite.. or some other 
backends focusing on speed  and memory usage, in order to get it usable on 
handhelds devices.
