It certainly offers more possibilities. ABC is only a subset.

MusicXML has it's shortcomings - as presented by Reinhold Kainhofer this
years LAC: http://lac.linuxaudio.org/2010/?page=program - but these are
 mostly limitations concerning typesetting not MIDI/Musical ones.

http://staff.dasdeck.de/valentin/midi/sequencer.php is fun to toy around
with (there goes another half-hour of precious time). The sources are
available for download but there's no license with them. mmh.

We're also drifting a bit off topic: an archive or revision system for
midi compositions is not the same an online midi-remix platform; though
the latter could make use of the former.
