For reliability the pro audio world has done this too.  The Klark Teknik 
DN3600 (digitally-controlled eqaulizer) and related products all have XLR 
connections for their MIDI interface.  It is regular MIDI, using mostly 
program change and SysEx commands, but they chose a more "robust" connector 
to interface the units.
