Nick O'Leary commented on MQTT-58:
----------------------------------

I disagree about RSMB.

Just ran this test:
  --> SUBSCRIBE,        TOPIC:a/b/c, Requested QoS:0
  --> SUBSCRIBE,        TOPIC:a/b/+, Requested QoS:1
  --> SUBSCRIBE,        TOPIC:#, Requested QoS:2

  --> PUBLISH sent,     TOPIC:a/b/c, QoS:2, Retained:false

 --> PUBLISH received, TOPIC:a/b/c, QoS:2, Retained:false

The fact I received the message a QoS 2 means the qos 2 subscription 'matched' - which was # - the least specific of all.

If we can fully define 'most specific' without tying ourselves in knots with the language, then I could be persuaded. So far I have not been able to get the language right once you stray off the 'simple' cases.

> A client has subscribed to a/+ with QoS2 and a/b with QoS1. A message is published to a/b. Does the client receive one or two messages? If one which QoS would apply?
