Oops, just saw this email. On a separate thread I asked Yuri to add to the
code review as well, which I've responded to already.

As I recall, we added the 'agent' field to allow for the case of the UA not
being settable by framework libs, plus to allow for the ability to change
the object-relationship aspects of the /response/ for the consuming 'agent'
without being dependent strictly on the User-Agent.
