OSC seems really interesting, but is it a smart thing not to specify the 
transport protocol? So far I've seen only one hardware synth (Reaktor) that 
supports it. Is any commercial manufacturer really going to replace MIDI with 
this if the transport method isn't specified? I suppose that Ethernet over 
UDP would be a logical choice, but it would still be somewhat of a gamble on 
the part of the first manufacturer to implement it, hoping that the others 
would follow suit.

Or am I missing something here?
