Yes. The two namespaces cannot overlap, so it is unambiguous that a
device name means the active node attached to the device (we use it in a
number of other commands).

Good call; existing docs state:

# @block-set-write-threshold
...
# @node-name: graph node name on which the threshold must be set.
...
{ 'command': 'block-set-write-threshold',
  'data': { 'node-name': 'str', 'write-threshold': 'uint64' } }

so I'll prepare a v2 that tweaks it.
