Hi Dan
The key to understanding this is the following bit - "only backbone summary-LSAs are examined"
This is what mandates the connectivity of every normal area to the backbone area.
HTH,
Paresh.

Subject: OSPF inter-area , area 0 and the RFC
Hello all,
We all know that only area 0 can be a transit area for inter-area traffic.
I am searching the RFC to check how this is done, but could only thing
I could found was:
16.2 "The inter-area routes are calculated by examining summary-LSAs.
If the router has active attachments to multiple areas, only
backbone summary-LSAs are examined. Routers attached to a
single area examine that area's summary-LSAs. In either case,
the summary-LSAs examined below are all part of a single area's
link state database (call it Area A)."
Is that it?
-- Best regards, Dan
