But who mounts a *tiny* JFFS2 volume except those that will be using it
as a WORM drive?
This group of users could well be even tinier than those that want WORM
drives.
My conclusion:
Make it a WORM drive if it is too small to support read/write many
times.

I agree with this principle, but my assumptions are different than
yours, hence I'm currently leaning towards a different conclusion.
