It seems like there might be some cheesy hack to allow topics to be
hierarchized; for example, I can imagine creating topics with "/" in
the name:
 
 Foo/Bar
 Foo/Baz

Would it be a total hack if that was magically used to generate
submenus? Probably so. ;-)

Not sure / is a good choice since there are probably reasonable single
topic names that contain it.

This would allow old bookmark hierarchies to be imported more sanely,
but might suck in a lot of other ways.
