I think OSC really becomes powerful when the namespace reflects the structure of the patch, rather than being wholly generated and imagined by the user. this opens the door to extracting the function of a patch from the OSC namespace and simply being able to standardize so that patches not made to work together over OSC magically do.
Great idea, but again, why has this to be done with OSC ? I am very much for OSC compatibility of pd, but we should not change the style of the pd language for that. I think this would be possible to be implemented in pd messages instead of OSC messages. Just replace the "/" by a " ".
You miss one central feature of OSC: pattern matching. This is very useful, as I can access lots of values at the same time:
"/sequencer/volume* 100" will set all 64 volume sliders to 100.
