OSC is connectionless, at least if the implementation uses udp as the transport-protocol (which most do). So there is no real way to even return values. Most apps send return-values to the host/port the query came from, but if that fails or is not handled (as the current state of ofqf...), nothing really happens. Thats already quite a problem, introspection/interrogation is totally up to the dev writing the app you want to control. I would propose some basic "/introspect" to send back some kind of textual representation of the tree of options that is handled by the app. But its up to every programmer to implement this. And then we still have to negotiate on a format for the answer...
