But in a setup where the controller doesn’t actually need the device-id (because the agent-id is pre-configured and the controller uses that to uniquely identify the MA), this requires the device-id to be divulged to the controller unnecessarily. That case could be accommodated by making both the agent-id and the device-id optional and specifying that the device-id should be provided if it was not provided in pre-configuration.

Actually, that last bit should say: if it was not provided in pre-configuration and if the MA has no agent-id.
