Yes, but it also changes the topic that the client sees. In your
example they do not see the /cl/uid part of the topic. If they publish
to foo, it is handled on the broker as /cl/uid/foo.

I'm not entirely sure what you're asking here I'm afraid! :) At the
moment ACL plugins tell the broker whether a particular client is
allowed access to read/write to a particular topic. It can't modify
the topic.
