AllJoyn vs MQTT - what is the difference?

Question

AllJoyn and MQTT are both open source projects for Internet of Things interoperability, both provide an event bus and a router/broker to connect devices. What is the difference? Are they compatible? Which standard should I use to implement my future-proof IoT device?

AllSeen Alliance's AllJoyn project is open source proximal IoT. It is usually a mesh topology.
MQTT is open source cloud IoT that works well on mobile and satellite networks. It is pub/sub with topics.
They are complementary, in fact IBM is working on a MQTT plug-in for AllJoyn's gateway agent.

You can read about that in AllJoyn Adds Human Touch to the Internet of Things. However, it seems that AllJoyn to be younger that MQTT, so for the second protocol is possible to found more documentation and frameworks.
