(MIDI1 was slightly better at this with the start/continue markers, but in practice this was useless anyway because as soon as you drop any data you get stuck notes so you're screwed anyway)

For full disclosure, I'm not an audio engineer, even less a MIDI expert. I'm just an (enlightened?) enthusiast lucky enough to hanging around on pro studios once in a while. Take my comments with a (huge) grain of salt!
The thing with DIN links is they have a serious bandwidth limitation and no error control. Just last weekend I saw a live rig with 3 daisy-chained aux keyboards hooked up to a MIDI mixer and to a main keyboard, all via USB, no computers involved. It seems it's becoming popular.

Interesting!
I didn't know that setup. In that case, which device acts as the host? The mixer probably?
Since USB 1.1 and 2 do not support daisy chain, the devices should embed a mini usb hub. Don't that add too much latency?

USB hubs only add a few microseconds of latency, way less than USB MIDI itself has (at least 1ms or so). I believe the mixer was the host, yes.
