And in -01 draft I've added one more use case:

 o  User wants to get some simple action from remote device.  Consider
    garage door opener: it must authenticate user to open the door,
    but it is not necessary for the user to authenticate the door
    opener.  In this case one-way authentication is sufficient.

In this example there is no harm if garage door opener
fills in its ID Payload - it need not be anonymous.

There is harm. An observer could figure out if it is me that's opening
the door, or my wife or my kids.

If the server (door) does not need it, don't send it.
