Below is my attempt to rewrite this particular usecase with an addional 
theme for transformations to AtomOWL.  Unfortunately I've been a bit busy 
as of late, so my appologies Danny:

Voltaire has developed a weblog engine that utilizes XForms for editing 
entries remotely using the Atom Publishing Protocol. He has found the use 
of XForms for authoring fragments of Atom quite useful for a variety of 
reasons. In particular, the Atom Publishing Protocol's use of HTTP and POX 
(Plain Old XML) primarily for remote messaging allows Voltaire to easily 
author various XForm documents that use XForm submission elements to 
dispatch operations on web resources.

Voltaire would like to have his weblog updated (in 'push' fashion) by Atom 
publishers with similar topics of interest.  The XForms for dispatching 
the various modification operations each contain a rather rich set of 
information about transport-level services in the form of service URLs, 
media-types and HTTP methods.

These are completely encapsulated in an XForms submission element. It so 
happens that there is an RDF vocabulary for expressing transport metadata 
called RDF Forms.

Voltaire wishes to associate his web forms for editing, deleting, and 
updating Atom entries on his weblog with a GRDDL profile that extracts RDF 
Form descriptions. These descriptions will include the transport 
mechanisms for a software agent to interpret and snoop for service URLs to 
post content to.

Software agents can also use an Atom 1.0 -> Atom/OWL transformation 
to extract descriptions of the entries to search for categories (via the 
awol:category property) that match interest and publish content to 
Voltaire's weblog.

I took the liberty of changing the name from Tom to Voltaire :)
