An advantage of that, I realise, is that it "solves" the problem of
MIDI timing -- by making it the same as the problem of audio timing,
which you must solve first if you're to use JACK at all.

That is, JACK MIDI demands that the MIDI events for a time slice be
supplied by the normal JACK audio/MIDI combined process callback for
that time slice.  Provided the callback is called in time at all, it
doesn't need to do any special timing work to get the MIDI events to
the driver; it just needs to look up and return the events in the
callback.  If this works for audio, it will work for MIDI too.

The other advantage obviously is that JACK MIDI support on Linux would
itself be a popular thing.

And the obvious disadvantage is that it leaves you needing to use
JACK, which isn't the most natural requirement for Windows users.
