BTP Issue 78 : Addresses used for identification

Submitter: Choreology
Category: minor technical
Description:
Many messages have the address of their sender as a parameter, only to disambiguate the identifier, because the other side already knows the sender's address.

There is no protocol need for this to be a set of addresses - it could just be one, with the rule that a single address matches a set of addresses if it is the same as any member of the set. There is some text on this already, but it needs checking.
