Re: [mh] MQTT LOCALITEM topic names

Hey Brian. I am not aware of any limit in mqtt itself (doc says up to 64k
bytes), but there may be assumptions in the code that topics are only two
levels. I think at one point I started to support arbitrary number of
levels but it was getting too complicated to identify the incoming state
and set messages. Outgoing is probably easier.
