I do not mind too much the transient inconsistencies but more about longer term 
inconsistencies (1) hence my question about simulations / tests in the absence 
of mathematical proof.

The R-bit has always been in OSPFv3 (AFAIK), so, OSPFv3 does not have the same 
issue.

(1) having some routers being H-bit aware and other routers not processing the 
H-bit could probably introduce long term inconsistencies and loops.

    Yes, as with other operations in a network (reconvergence, for
    example), there is a risk of transient inconsistency.  §5 already
    makes recommendations to mitigate transient states.  What explicitly
    are you looking for to address your DISCUSS?
    
    I'll let the authors reply about tests/simulations.
    
    Thanks!
    
    Alvaro.
