My comment was in reference to the fact that the link-state database
must be synchronized throughout the area. OSPF routes are taggable, so
there must be some data structure keeping track of this (and perhaps
other) information along with the LSdb.

...A quick scan of RFC-2328 yielded the following tidbits:

Externally derived routing data (e.g., routes learned from an Exterior
Gateway Protocol such as BGP; see [Ref23]) is advertised throughout the
Autonomous System. This externally derived data is kept separate from
the OSPF protocol's link state data. Each external route can also be
tagged by the advertising router, enabling the passing of additional
information between routers on the boundary of the Autonomous System.

All LSAs have an 'Options' field and Type 5 LSAs also have an 'External
Route Tag' field which is undefined by the RFC...

So a contrived scenario, I guess, would involve, perhaps, a way to hide
routes from certain routers--'Opaque' routes perhaps?

I don't think this is a correct assumption. I don't believe there is
any
field in LSA type 5's that would convery the necessary information to
other
routers to keep that particular LSA in the database but not in their
routing tables. If this particular observation is valid then it would
most
likely be localized to the router in particular.
