Not quite enough experience here to offer any better suggestions, sadly.

As far as the DAWOSC thing, could this be accomplished in a similar fashion to ODBC? For anyone that doesn't know, ODBC is an intermediate translator that allows applications to talk to different databases through a common syntax. If there was a single DAWOSC interface would it be possible to write a MIDI to OSC translator for individual control surfaces? Sorry if this is completely off topic.

XML "might" be a useful file format but would really require a front end editor to manage your maps. Import and Export could be part of that editor. But without an editor I think XML would cause untold grief for end users. Having said that, if you have an editor then the resulting file format is less important. A text file with key-value pairs would work fine and could be modified with a simple text editor.
