I struggle to find use case? It seems to inherit MIDI flaws and...not be compatible with it aside from maybe making MIDI device that sees it do something funny ? Like, the MIDI format is pretty elegant and easy to decide but why inherit limitations of 14 bit numbers and continue using "sysex" as kludge to drive everything ? Keep the format of <command><channel> (really, <channel><command> is probably better for decoding but whatever) but then instead of the silliness of 7/14 bit encode rest of the parameters properly
