Thanks, Steve.

A lot of work has gone into RTP MIDI, to get consensus across
a wide range of interests -- the IETF, MPEG, the MMA, and the
computer music community.  I should note we're not there yet
(i.e. we haven't started the vetting process that ends, if successful,
in RFCs) , but we're getting ever closer to Last Call (the start of the
process).  The most recent documents are here:

http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~lazzaro/sa/pubs/txt/current-guide.txt

Also note that the RTP-MIDI network stack in sfront:

http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~lazzaro/sa/index.html

has been re-licensed under the BSD license, the stack
resides in sfront/src/lib/nsys/.  I also have the stack in a
tar file that only contains BSD-licensed files -- let me know
if you need a copy and I'll send it along.  The stack is more
for reading than for using -- I think the best RTP MIDI
implementations will start with a clean slate.
