I think combining all three possibilities is the best:

	device <bdaddr>
	{
		# This is the configuration for all
		# devices that have matching bdaddr:s.
	}

	device <hci interface>
	{
		# This is the configuration for all devices 
		# that have matching interfaces but no matching 
		# bdaddr.
	}

	device
	{
		# This is the configuration for all devices 
		# that don't match anything else: the default.
	}

This way one can mix and move devices around and hcid will do its
best to configure things properly.

Having a utility (e.g. config-bluetooth) managing all these
configurations simpifies things, of course.

Well, simply having

	device
	{
		# Default configuration.
	}

already works today. :)
