Re: OSPF Area 0

The simple answer is No as all below said, however you can see it clearly
in the RFC, basically the diff between an LSA of stub to non-stub is the
E-bit:

RFC 2328:

"The E-bit represents OSPF's ExternalRoutingCapability. This
            bit should be set in all LSAs associated with the backbone,
            and all LSAs associated with non-stub areas (see Section
            3.6). It should also be set in all AS-external-LSAs. It
            should be reset in all router-LSAs, network-LSAs and
            summary-LSAs associated with a stub area. "
