I wrote the article more than a year ago and the 12.4T behavior at that time
was the same as what you've described. Obviously you were running "somewhat"
older code :)

Well, it makes sense to advertise type-3 default for "summary-only" as there
are no other type-3 LSAs (to make totally-NSSA identical to totally-stubby
area in this aspect), although this particular behavior is not part of OSPF
RFC.

Someone with more than just a few boxes probably made a lot of noise asking
for the behavior to change :))
