Hi,

I think it would be appropriate to point out that AWS IoT handles # differently than the specification linked in the section AWS IoT differences from MQTT version 3.1.1 specification.

The MQTT v3.1.1 specification specifies "The multi-level wildcard represents the parent and any number of child levels." The topic filter "sport/#" should match the topic "sport". That is not the case with AWS IoT which does not match the parent topic.

While the way AWS IoT handles # is documented in Topic filters I think this difference from specification is worth mentioning in a bullet point in the "Differences from MQTT" section.

I would be willing to write this addition and make a PR if you give me the go-ahead.
