If the operator chooses to deny prefixes being installed in the RIB based on these tags, then yes, they could end up with unreachability problems. However, an operator can do this today with any routing policy (a number of implementations already have inbound route filtering) - we should not prevent this kind of mechanism based on the fact that an erroneous config might be problematic. In the case that the operator *preferences* things based on the tags, then this would not be an unreachability problem - OSPF would still correctly determine that there is a path between all nodes in the pictured network - and this would be installed in the RIB as per normal operation. (My memory is not 100% clear on whether this is intended as part of the example, if it is, then the text should be clarified I agree.) Kind regards, r.
