MIDI is just a protocol, it doesn't care which cable it gets sent over, as long as both ends of the cable know which message transport system if being used.
As such, pretty much every modern MIDI device can already do MIDI over USB (including the ones that have dedicated MIDI ports on the back).

MIDI also specifies the mechanical and electrical connections. There is a MIDI USB device class specification, but that's not an implementation of the MIDI 1.0 standard and just roughly corresponds to its packet protocol.
