Yes. (As in you're not wrong <g>). 

FYI, our Technical Standards Board just discussed this today and 
they agree this is an excellent opportunity for the MIDI industry 
and will ask MMA members for input on the requirements...

Yes, and because many (but not all) web-enabled devices include
a local General MIDI renderer, we think accessing that would be 
a good place to start, but developers will want to be able to 
use other renderers (external hardware; in the browser; etc.).
