Hi Julien,

I think you're right about this. The hardest part might be to have
some standard way of communicating the OSC hierarchy, and the types
and ranges of parameters to other programs. I think this should be
the first step if you want to make a generic interface.
I think it would be really hard (in the sense of hard coding :-)
to control a program with OSC, without having a way to find out
about parameters, types and ranges.

I'm wondering if OSC has any introspection methods at all.
Is there anyone who could shed a light on this?
Is there some standard xml format for describing OSC parameters ?
Maybe it's a stupid question, but I didn't find anything on
the subject...

Oh wait, I tried again, and just found this:
