I was wondering about this the other day - is there no OSC 'standard'
for how to declare note-ons, offs, etc?

If OSC really is to become a MIDI replacement, there's needs to be an
explicitly defined standard that says "this is how a note is triggered"
IMO.  Then we can start making fun things like OSC sequencers...
