Newbe question - Relevance of OSPF

Hi,

I am a new member so please excuse the question if it is too easy or already
been answered 100's of times.

Normally the OSPF router id is only locally significant. But I seem to
recall reading that the router ID's must match through an MPLS connection.
 Why? That makes no sense at all! Is the router ID transmitted through
MPLS?

I appreciate the help and look forward to studying with all of you. Today
is day 1 of a long journey!
