Ciao Frank, aside from what andrea said, take into account that S57 is a mixed format, it contains data + rendering directives, therefore it is not going to be dead easy to reuse it inside the geotools rendering system where rendering directives and data are firmly separated. One thing to look at IMHO would be to create both a coverage format as well as a datastore so that when rendering we return an image when querying we return features. Just some random thoughts.
