Agreed. For configuration management, the difference in reference is 
very important:

When using "hci0", the setting will be permanently stored and used for
all devices that become "hci0". When using "00:00:00:00:00:00", the
device with that address will have that setting, regardless of the
interface (hci0, hci1 or otherwise). Configurations based on addresses
should have higher priority than those based on interfaces.

The applications will have to be careful on how to use the references,
unless we decide that configurations only will be stored on addresses
regardless of the type reference used by the application.

Agreed.
