OSC vs. MIDI

That is what I am seeing.
It would be possible to define some standards, e.g. for
transport control. But unless they are

That would be MIDI.
any such standards are destined to fail.
Concidering OSC has been around for 12 years(v1.0, 17 years since first
implementation), it may have already. The specification is the most
non-specific thing I have ever seen. From the home page it seems to have
not moved at all from 2009 (waiting for funding so 1.1 can be released).
It would seem almost the same thing could be done with an ssh session
using arbitrary strings.
