This want iconifies a lot for me, as sensible & highly desireable straighforwardhish follow-up I have little expectation we'll see anytime soon. I generally love the web platform, find it does a solid job, has decent API shape & decisions. Stuff gets made, & pretty well. But there's definitely a dearth of spec workers & browser maintainers out there to pitch in after the first drops, especially after some 1.0 implementations make it out the door. Just like in normal software development, there's a budget for new development, but maintenance & improvement can be severely lacking. Attention for what we have, tlc, is sparser than the places where new things happen.
WebMIDI is alas one of these great worthy & amazing specs that at some point we need to re-up, come around to again, and I want so much to imagine that happening. I feel like WebShare (and Target) was another great example- lots of really good improvements asked for in issues, growing potential, but the interest from the top has moved on.
