| Right, that is another way to go. But it would actually require to
| allow the processing application to differentiate between processing
| information and 'true' topic map information and to propably take
| the processing information out of the constructed TM object.

What's wrong with that?
 
| The situation in RDF is a bit different because the triples one gets
| from parsing are completely unrelated and the application can simply
| pick what's of interest or what it understands.

This is simply not true. If you add a new class to your RDF ontology
to express this you are a situation *identical* to that described for
topic maps above.
 
| Very interesting in this context is RDFForms[1] which actually
| brings the HTML hypermedia application model to RDF. Simply said, I
| want the same for XTM.

You should be able to take the RDFForms ontology, annotate it with
RTM[1], and then load whatever RDFForms files you have into the
Omnigator, where you can export them to XTM. And there you'll have it.
