[Drawkit] DrawKit/Ortelius on the iPhone

DrawKit, in general, and Ortelius, in particular would seem to be  
natural apps for the iPhone (and future mobile devices Apple offers).

I am not suggesting that a full drawing or mapping app needs to be  
ported to the iPhone.

Rather, the ability to display/manipulat drawings that are created  
elsewhere.

Say there is an iPhone app that could display drawings or maps and:

-- zoom in or out
-- rotate the drawing
-- display or hide layers
-- highlight objects
----- display metadata
----- display size location geocode
----- calculate distance/path between two objects
----- trace progress along the path

Is it practical to consider using DrawKit as a basis for app such as  
his?

TIA

Dick
