Looks lovely, but indeed overlaps with some of Niko's work -- see [1]. Niko is currently uploading the srtm data to a KDE server such that it can be used directly by Marble.
I like your float item solution that does not depend on an external lib/widget. Afaik Niko's one currently uses a KDE widget such that we can't use it in the Qt-only version (e.g. on the Nokia N900). Maybe you two can get in contact and join forces? 

Regards,
Dennis
