Re: New draft WG charter

I'm not sure MIDI *Communication* API will be broad enough, as it is
possible that the spec will be extended in the future (maybe V2 or so, but
not in the near future, definitely not before CR) to support creating
virtual MIDI devices as well. However, I have no other objections to the
name. :)

Cheers,
Jussi
