/**
 * Observing Attributes with Local MonitoredItems
 * ----------------------------------------------
 *
 * A client that is interested in the current value of a variable does not need
 * to regularly poll the variable. Instead, he can use the Subscription
 * mechanism to be notified about changes.
 *
 * So-called MonitoredItems define which values (node attributes) and events the
 * client wants to monitor. Under the right conditions, a notification is
 * created and added to the Subscription. The notifications currently in the
 * queue are regularly send to the client.
 *
 * The local user can add MonitoredItems as well. Locally, the MonitoredItems to
 * not go via a Subscription and each have an individual callback method and a
 * context pointer.
