If you are comparing OSC to UDP you are comparing apples

to oranges. UDP is a transport protocol. OSC is a way to

encode events and associated data in a binary format. And

indeed there are no standards that define the meaning of

any OSC message. That again is at a different level. 
And where do you get the 'quite significant overhead' ?

It just depends on how you use it.
