I got the impression that OMC was supposed to be something more than
what we are talking about here with (provisionally named) oscplanet?
Wasn't the idea to develop an actual address space for media control *in
addtion* to the meta-addresses...

FWIW, I don't really like oscplanet name either. I think we should try
to get new simple, lightweight, implementation-independent meta-schema
out of these discussions. oscplanet is very non-descriptive unless
you're familiar with the metaphors used in rubyk. It sounds like an
implementation rather than a protocol.

How about:

OSC/SQP - Open Sound Control / Server Query Protocol

or just 

OSC/SQ - Open Sound Control / Server Query

?

I think it's important that people are a bit difficult about this ;-)
Otherwise we'll end up with a too-specific 'meta' protocol that only
works in a handful of implementations.
