I agree that the documentation says this, however in practice it's not
quite so clearcut.... this is on a router running 12.2(15)T12. Example
below....

[R2 --S2/0-]------------[-S2/0 --R4 --S2/0.13-]-------------[-S2/0--R3]

R4#sh ip int Ser2/0.13
Serial2/0.13 is up, line protocol is up
  Internet address is 172.10.43.4/24
  Broadcast address is 255.255.255.255
  Address determined by non-volatile memory
  MTU is 1500 bytes
  Helper address is not set
  Directed broadcast forwarding is disabled
  Multicast reserved groups joined: 224.0.0.14 224.0.0.17 224.0.0.1
224.0.0.2
      224.0.0.22 224.0.0.13 224.0.0.9
  Outgoing access list is not set
  Inbound access list is not set
  Proxy ARP is enabled
  Local Proxy ARP is disabled
  Security level is default
  Split horizon is enabled <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Split Horizon
is enabled

I added three /32 loopbacks on R4...

!
interface Loopback234
 ip address 172.10.200.234 255.255.255.255
!
interface Loopback235
 ip address 172.10.200.235 255.255.255.255
!
interface Loopback236
 ip address 172.10.200.236 255.255.255.255
!
I then configured the summary on Ser2/0.13

interface Serial2/0.13 point-to-point
 ip address 172.10.43.4 255.255.255.0
 ip pim dense-mode
 ip summary-address rip 172.10.200.0 255.255.255.0
 frame-relay interface-dlci 403
 ip rsvp bandwidth 25 20
!

And on R3....
R3#ship rip
     172.10.0.0/16 is variably subnetted, 19 subnets, 6 masks
R 172.10.200.0/24 [120/1] via 172.10.43.4, 00:00:06, Serial2/0
R 172.10.25.0/29 [120/1] via 172.10.43.4, 00:00:06, Serial2/0
R 172.10.25.64/26 [89/1] via 172.10.43.4, 00:00:06, Serial2/0

It's just another IGP, don't let it psych you out....
