We've certainly thought about such an app, but it's not a goal for now.
For the near future our focus in terms of quality viewing solutions on the iPad is:
1. ePub in iBooks
2. Safari
3. PDF in iBooks
Our current work is focused on improving the Safari experience (both on iPad and desktop). WWDC attendees had an opportunity to try out what we're working on.
While we are doing lots of work to improve the iPad experience, the overwhelming majority of people view the docs in Xcode directly or using a desktop browser, so that is where we'll continue to focus the majority of our efforts. We have a great fondness for the iPad as a doc viewing experience, though, so we'll continue to improve that where we can.
