AFAIK in the beginning it was never meant as a midi

should -in opposite to midi- not make any assumptions on the musical

or sound art, MIDI is next to completely irrelevant as carrier for
musical data (but is still used for control data like sensor stuff
etc, since you can build such a thing with a small pic uC).
however, an "official" way of encapsulating midi in osc would maybe
push especially some commercial developers to osc, but i guess the
CNMAT folks don't want to have it in their official spec.
As Dave pointed out there is the 'm' type, but that doesnt fix any of
MIDIs problems, jsut a way of wrapping it in OSC.
I dont really think OSC needs to replace MIDI, if your doing 12 tone,
limited polyphony, bandwisth etc. stuff, which most people are, its fine.
