(e) If the current LSA is functionally the same as an
installed LSA (i.e., same destination, cost and non-zero
forwarding address) then apply the following priorities in
deciding which LSA is preferred:
1. A Type-7 LSA with the P-bit set.
2. A Type-5 LSA.
3. The LSA with the higher router ID.

That is correct. Once the (6)a through (6)e preference rules are applied
to the installed LSAs and the current LSA under external calculation,
some of the installed LSAs may be replaced in the installed set by the
current LSA. Alternatively the current LSA may not be installed and the
existing installed set may remain intact, or the LSA may be added to the
existing installed set. If the forwarding addresses of the installed set
are all different, then this preference rule simply does not prune any
LSAs from the combined set. If an LSA has a zero FA then this preference
rule is skipped.
