I also believe that what Jesus may have written was a quotation from 
the scripture.  I also think that it is significant that it mentions 
that it was sand that Jesus wrote in because of the transient nature 
of sand.

     ...Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by
     your tradition. (Matthew 15:6b)

     Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, 
     which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.    
     (Mark 7:13)

To those people who were witness to this event the Word of God was, 
as it were, written in sand.

It is also possible that Jesus wrote the sins of the assembled people 
in the sand. If they were specifically spelled out to us they would
become a matter of public record.  It is possible that Jesus spared
those men perpetual shame in naming their sins to us in the written 
Word of God for we know the Word of God will not pass away.

Just a few thoughts.
