The applicability statement in section 3 of RFC 4970 is clear. It has
nothing to do with how I formulate my objections ;^)

This is a terrible analogy. The Network LSA has a single purpose and is
bounded by the number of OSPF routers on a LAN. In this case, the TLV has
no bound and implementors could come up with all sorts of clever ways to
encode the data.

I've heard requirements that contradict this statement in this E-mail
thread. 

Thanks,
