Marc's suggestion is similar to a scheme I was thinking about, modulo some
minor details on handling of realms.
Something I wasn't too clear about originally was the handling of wildcards
in subscriptions. I haven't thought this part through fully, but I suspect
we will want to permit wildcards when sending as well as when subscribing.
For example, I do want to get "filsrv/cyrus" with my subscription to
"filsrv/cyrus/u2/lockers/games", but may not want to get "message/consult"
with a subscription to "message/consult/c". If we permit the message in the
former case to be sent to "filsrv/cyrus/*", then we fix the problem.
