You have my vote, I posted a similar proposal a few days ago.

I would like to hear more voices and opinions (expecially from the author of maemo-mapper) before starting to think about coding something.

I took an eye on the the code, and it does'nt seem too difficult to add basic WMS support, but we have first to add multi-provider support (i.e. the possibility to configure several map providers (see my previous posts in this thread)
