 I do like to hear comments from other people. 
 

OSPF (and any other flooding based protocol) is a particularly poor basis
for doing restricted dissemination of information.  The only way to
constrain the flooding is to constrain the topology, which adds an
additional layer of management overhead that is simply unnecessary.
