Hi,

hello to all, I've just reviewed the MIDI API and commented on a few bugs.

Regarding MIDIOutput.sendMessage() and MIDIOutput.sendMIDIMessage(): I
find the method names unnecessarily verbose. We might not even send a
"message", but only e.g. a part of a message. I don't know JavaScript
well, but can't you use overloading to make it simpler:

  boolean send(MIDIMessage message);

  boolean send(DOMHighResTimeStamp timestamp,
               short status, short... data);

and possibly even add another convenience send() method:

  boolean send(short status, short... data);

Of course this is mostly a cosmetic issue, but it will make my
programmer's life easier, and quite possibly others', too.

Thanks,
Florian
