There's really nothing about MIDI that makes it unsuitable for
quarter-tone use, other than that since there are only 128 notes,
you'd only get a little more than 5 octaves.

MIDI note values are simple numerics: 0, 1, ..., 127. They are not
pitched, so you could use them to send quarter-tone data.
