Yes !

If we can do that then everything else will just kind of work.  And if 
we have support for a CAD format that includes its own per feature 
styling it would make a great tutorial for writing a Renderer.

I wonder if you could attend the GeoTools meeting today? It would be 
nice to get DBF its own geotools plugin to play with.

That said you are welcome to develop your datastore on the udig 
subversion repository (or even supply a jar if you are under source code 
restrictions).

This will be exciting, access to more data is always a good thing.
