there is a solution for multiple failures - see section 6.7.11.

not if you do flooding on every link that comes up. If you want to be 
smarter, then you need to selectively enable flooding only under 
specific conditions and that must be done from both sides of the new link.

sorry, but if you see a problem, please provide details, saying above is 
simply unproductive.

there is an area leader in both modes. In distributed mode the area 
leader is the one that advertises the algorithm that is used by all 
nodes that participates in dynamic flooding.
