- "Tags carried by the
   administrative tag TLV SHOULD be used to indicate independent
   characteristics of a node."

I was initially confused by that sentence.
So there are tags carried by a different TLV than the administrative one?
Actually, no (I checked with one of the authors).
I would simply write:
   "Administrative tag TLV SHOULD be used to indicate independent
   characteristics of a node."

This would be in line with the definition:
   An administrative Tag is a 32-bit integer value that can be used to
   identify a group of nodes in the OSPF domain.

- Router information LSA [RFC4970] can have link, area or AS
   level flooding scope.  Choosing the flooding scope to flood the group
   tags are defined by the policies and is a local matter.

"and is a local matter". Hopefully there is some sort of centralized
management application that checks consistency.
