Before I make the change, let me make sure I understand your proposal.  If the relay agent does not include the relay-address, the relay agent has to cause the forwarded message to have a source address - an address with the widest scope possible; e.g., a link-local address isn't useful - that is assigned to the interface on which the message was received by the agent from the client.
