Hi Graham, If we follow prov-dm logic: "The motivation for introducing agents in the model is to denote the agent's responsibility for activities" If you don't need to assign responsibility in prov-dm, you don't need agents. So, it's not unreasonable to have agents introduced with responsibility. It does not change the fact that it's the third element of the trio, though.
