| Question: Is there a XTM -> CXTM conversion tool in TM4J? If so,
| then all the identity/merging stuff can be captured in CXTM and the
| XSLT can work off that.

Actually, I think you don't necessarily need CXTM. Doing an XTM import
followed by an XTM export should be enough, as TM4J will do all the
merging for you and give you a consistent topic map with consistent
references to all topics[1] etc. Using the export functionality in
Omnigator will give the same result.

[1] Ie, you won't have to write XSLT to deal with <topicRef/>,
    <subjectIndicatorRef/>, and <resourceRef/>, but can assume all
    references are <topicRef/>s.
