Well, there's got to be other information provided with the form that your app can use to decide if it's going to take any of the actions described by the form. For example, the type of processor, which has a URI from which you might GET an RDF Schema. But I haven't used such a technique myself, so maybe there's another, better way - this is RDF after all, so you can mixin whatever other information you need. Let me know what you learn.
