I have definitely seen longer than 10 characters.  I believe the M204 product 
has some that are 13 characters long.

I have always assumed that what we see as message IDs are there by convention 
rather than a formal specification.

They are just the first word/token in a WTO message text string.

There is no field in the MDB that is for "message ID" IIRC.
