Data integrity is understood as respecting the relationships between tables. So, if there are several tables in a one to many relationship with the node table, say, for a CCK based content type, if the node is deleted, then the child records would also be deleted.

yep... but doing this in PHP is a pain, doing it in PHP and in SQL is a double pain. And unless support for MyISAM and sqlite is going to be dropped, and I don't think right now is a good choice, using more "advanced" DB features in core would be a double pain.

Another thing is helping people to exploit more advanced features in their modules. Modules may have more exotic requirements than core.
