Is there something in the OSPF spec which prevents it from operate

I have that working, but there are arguments that this is
allowed by
OSPF, i.e, ethier use unnumbered links or unique local IP
addresses.

Got some comments on this but nothing conclusive, I really want
to know. Acee, what do you think?
Since there is only a type 1 (router link) in the Router-LSA for each
unnumbered link, it makes no difference how many use the same IP
address.
Right, but how about multiple NUMBERED PtoP interfaces with the
same local IP address?
I'd argue that if your configuration supports this, all but one of
the interfaces is unnumbered.
Then there will be multiple identical
type 3 too.
Even though it is non-standard, I don't see any problems. I believe
Dave alluded to the fact that some OSPF implementations may have ABR
SPF optimizations which can have problems when the same address is
advertised in multiple addresses - I know fixed some problems here in
one implementation.
