sorry got that wrong, I meant

cd="mycd" on the symbol and perhaps cdgroup=.... on the document element,

  but the details are not too important my main point was that the 
algorithm is designed to translate any valid mathml, but if there is 
"private knowledge" that was encoded in a phrasebook (or in your head) 
then to get the best possible translation(avoiding everything ending up 
being a ci annotated with lots of unknown attributions carrying the 
original markup) then you may have to intervene and add some markup or 
equivalently use a modified algorithm that builds in some of this 
private information. You can translate any XML to openmath by 
translating it to

<OMATTR>
   <OMATP>
     <OMS cd="universal-translation" name="src" />
      <OMFOREIGN encoding="xml">
      ... the xml you started with ...
     </OMFOREIGN>
   </OMATP>
   <OMV name="some-made-up-name" />
</OMATTR>

or the same thing with <ci> and <annotation-xml>, it's just that 
sometimes you can do better...
