I prefer changing the sentence to
" The IS-IS FAD Sub-TLV has an area/level scope"

Disclaimer: I am not an author of the flex-algo draft.

However, the text regarding "scope" of the FAD sub-TLV is in the context of the 
flooding scope of the containing Router Capability TLV (as defined in RFC 7981).
There we have two scopes defined:

1)Area/level scope (S-bit clear)

Such information MUST NOT be leaked between levels

2)Domain-wide scope (S-bit set)

Such information MUST be flooded across the entire IS-IS flooding domain - 
which means it is leaked between levels (UP and DOWN as appropriate)

Both "area/level" and "domain-wide" are terms used in RFC 7981.

The full paragraph from the flex-algo draft reads:

"The IS-IS FAD Sub-TLV has an area scope. The Router Capability TLV in which 
the FAD Sub-TLV is present MUST have the S-bit clear."

I think this is correct - but if the authors wanted to update this to 
"area/level" I would not object.
