Hi! There is a whole world of Open Source tools out there that deal with any kind of GIS data in any projection which allows you to do all sorts of things. I suggest you use those true and testes libaries and programs for all your non-OSM needs. That seems like much less work than adding all this functionality to Osmosis.
For a start look at OGR (www.gdal.org/ogr) and all the stuff you'll find from http://www.osgeo.org/ .
