Agreed about OSI being an attempt to get around reversion clauses. We've been asked by authors to let them know when we hear about books being either OSI or OP from our distributors, so they can start the clock on reversion.
Andycat is totally right about Thor Power Tool being critically important for stores in the US: a decision by a bureaucrat, not appealable unless one has a great deal of money, and absolutely devastating to both booksellers and publishers.
