Rick Geimer wrote a conversion from RTF to XML that uses OMLE - OmniMark's free version. You can get Rick's code at http://www.sesha.com/omlette/ and OMLE at http://www.omnimark.com/develop/index.html. I have test-driven it and find it to be very good - it gives you something like what Rainbow did, but has support for CALS tables, etc. If you were to write another conversion stage on to the end, you could have some fairly specific XML with minimum pain.
