I agree that TCP is a great feature.  Would love to discuss if anyone
has experience using OSC over TCP, as I haven't actually used it all
that much.

I would like to know how it compares to other implementations.  I have
to look more into it but I think there are some further suggestions
for how to package OSC over a stream connection in the OSC 1.1
specification.  And there is currently extensive discussion of OSC 2.0
happening on the OSC-dev list, but I haven't been following it 100%,
however my impression is that there are suggestions for certain
transport-level standards.

I know that CNMAT has been proposing to always use SLIP encoding to
packetize streams, but this is not what liblo currently does.  Instead
it takes the length-then-body approach.  I happen to think that over a
reliable connection the latter is better, since it makes memory
handling a little easier, but I'd like to maintain compatibility with
other libraries.  Does LibLo perhaps need an API to set TCP stream
options such as which packetizing protocol to use?
