If the host provides it's own RGH (mini-host), then GMPI doesn't need to
address it at all.
While it makes a lot of sense to say OSC, it's not up to us to design the
host for people. If Steinberg wants to make their RGH be OSC, then any
OSC app can talk to Cubase. That's good, but it's a HOST FEATURE.
If EmApple make Logic and Logic's RGH speak some other protocol, then that
is up to them.
If we say that it must be OSC, we're forcing that design decision on every
host that wants a remote gui. BUt that decision has nothing to do with
the plugin API, it's an inter-host API.
GMPI is strictly INTRA-host.
I think that is my position. I could be swayed...
