Ok. This is all true. But what is the purpose of such "indication" ??
Surprisingly enough that Syed Faraz Shamim - author of "Troubleshooting IP
routing protocols"
also follows Doyle's "mistake" (page 557-558)
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk365/tk480/technologies_configuration_examp
le09186a0080094054.shtml#4
router ospf 1
network 1.1.1.0 0.0.0.255 area 0
neighbor 1.1.1.2 priority 2
!--Used to manually configure neighbors and assign
the priority. In case of a Hub and Spoke topology,
the Hub should be elected as the DR as it has
connectivity to all the spokes. This can be done
by assigning higher priority to the Hub using the
neighbor command on the Spoke routers
