I doesnt have a s-expression like syntax, and it never has, you could
write OSC expressions in s-expressions, I guess, but theres no reason to.
The syntax has a fairly typical RPC structure: address followed by
typesignature then arguments. The on-the-wire format is binary. liblo
treats it a bit like printf/scanf, but you could stick any API you liked
over it.
I can promise you I wouldn't have touched OSC with a bargepole if it was
based on s-expressions. S-expressions are like XML, but with anonymous
attributes, yuk :)

The question is, which implementation is best? All I can find is
Steve's liblo, libosc++, and the 'official' OSC kit. What are the
advantages/drawbacks of each? I can find very little information on any
of them.
Last I checked OSC, it had Lisp/Scheme like syntax. Don't know
if that is a drawback --- anyone?
