For my $0.02, I am more than prepared to live with the shortcomings of the
MIDI standard given the enormous benefits to be gained from using MIDI. Many
people on this list are old enough to remember the pre-MIDI days and can
clearly recall what a complete nightmare it was to patch together
instruments with different control voltages and trigger standards...

As a standard, MIDI v01-00 is in need to modernisation. But I'd far rather
have it than not. 

Maybe this forum is the place to seriously start pushing for a new standard?
