A standard would be needed for all the DAW software to know what was recorded.
Some of us record midi and audio together, midi only and audio only depending on the need.
The USB key board and control surfaces I have now, use a driver to do this, such that in Sonar, I can see them, select them and record them. Now I can edit them as needed or alter then feed back into the system etc.
All for it if the big boys will make a standard. I got a 8x8, 2x2 and 3x8 midi sport midi set up here now, about to add another 8x8 to link the rest up direct. I don't think this will happen this year. ;-)

Imho, as computer technology advances, and software synthesis becomes
more powerful and affordable, there is less reason to use MIDI
analogue or MIDI virtual analogue hardware synths. There is a
growing number of computer musicians whose only hardware synths are
voltage controlled. With USB music keyboards and controller
surfaces, MIDI interfaces are no longer necessary. If one is using a
computer to control a CV synth such as an analogue modular, what is
the point in converting the data into MIDI first, then converting the
MIDI data into CV?? By eliminating the MIDI middleman, timing,
accuracy, and performance, are all noticeably improved.
