The Area Leader sub-TLV should be advertised by all nodes that are candidates 
to being Area Leader.  Strictly speaking, you could choose only one, but that 
would become a single point of failure.  For simple redundancy, two seems a 
practical minimum, however it still seems somewhat risky due to the possible 
loss of an Area Leader after a multi-failure partition. Thus, it is likely that 
all N nodes will continue to advertise the Area Leader sub-TLV.

Since no sub-TLVs are withdrawn, there is no space savings.
