ISIS external route

Hi, group:

  I am finding a way to distinguish ISIS internal or external route, but I found something strange:

[Question01]

<quote from Doyle's book>
Whereas L2 routes may be either internal or external, L1 routes are always internal.
</quote>
 You see, under L1-only routing, the router is generating the "IP-External" routes, and the routes was in the routing table.
 How can you explain this problem, if you were Mr. Doyle?

[Question02]

 The more strange thing followed, when I added the command "metric-style wide", the router did not generate the "IP-External" routes and these routes did not appear in the routing table.
 How can it works?

[config02]

R6#conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
R6(config)#router isis fr
R6(config-router)#metric
R6(config-router)#metric-style wi level-1
R6(config-router)#end
R6.00-00 * 0x00000007 0x951B 1187 1/0/0

  Metric: 0 IP 11.6.8.0/24
  Metric: 0 IP 11.6.7.0/24
  Metric: 0 IP 11.6.6.0/24

routing table:
<omitted>
C 211.211.211.0/24 is directly connected, Loopback211
     3.0.0.0/24 is subnetted, 16 subnets
