Yeah, it was a little strange to me that we got WebMIDI but not WebOSC. I wonder if there are discussions around this choice.

MIDI is a super straightforward protocol, so maybe that is why?

There is a W3C proposal for TCP and UDP sockets in the browser. Then we could easily implement OSC

http://www.w3.org/2012/sysapps/tcp-udp-sockets/

There are a few projects out there that use websockets to talk to a node js server and then forward that to OSC.

I guarantee this is why! This is a first step for this whole thing, it only makes sense to get the most widely-supported (and arguably simplest) implementation out first.

but OSC is so much more straight forward...
