(with COMMENT)

Benoit,

I was initially confused by that sentence.
My understanding is that "independent characteristics" applies on a tag-by-tag 
basis.  I might suggest:

        Each tag carried by the administrative tag TLV SHOULD be used to
        indicate a characteristic of a node that is independent of the
        characteristics indicated by other administrative tags.
<Shraddha> Thanks for the text. Updating -08 version with above text.

Thanks,
--David

- "Tags carried by the
    administrative tag TLV SHOULD be used to indicate independent
    characteristics of a node."

I was initially confused by that sentence.
So there are tags carried by a different TLV than the administrative one?
Actually, no (I checked with one of the authors).
I would simply write:
    "Administrative tag TLV SHOULD be used to indicate independent
    characteristics of a node."

This would be in line with the definition:
    An administrative Tag is a 32-bit integer value that can be used to
    identify a group of nodes in the OSPF domain.

- Router information LSA [RFC4970] can have link, area or AS
    level flooding scope.  Choosing the flooding scope to flood the group
    tags are defined by the policies and is a local matter.

"and is a local matter". Hopefully there is some sort of centralized
management application that checks consistency.
