Vishwas,

Draft doesnt say anything about the case "All links have unknown link type"  in the Router Lsa. Such an information should be left for opaque LSAs.

Further -
Unknown : 1) Extension to link type
          OR 
          2) Junk value. 

Now case (2) should not be allowed to sneak through to allow for case (1).
Better if the range of UNKNOWN is defined.

-Vivek
