>From the Cisco Press book:
"When an unnumbered interface is configured, it references another interface
... When enabling OSPF on the unnumbered int with the network command, use
an 'address wildcard-mask' pair that refers to the interface to which the
unnumbered interface is pointing."

Subject: Re: IP unnumbered and OSPF
Karl, Tom,
I think you are both mistaken--in fact, RFC 2328 contains multiple
references to unnumbered point-to-point links and what should be done about
them when developing an OSPF implementation.
The router doesn't need an exact interface IP address on a point-to-point
link in order to form a neighbor relationship. All OSPF packets on a
point-to-point link are going to be sent to the multicast address
224.0.0.5, and it really doesn't matter what IP address is the source in
those packets. The neighboring router is identified by its router ID, not
its address on the interface.
I have set up OSPF with IP unnumbered, and it worked just fine.
