I don't use Cisco and I don't use numbers. Fine to me if you make
ospfd.conf more flexible. The only thing about notation I found
in RFC 2328 is:
The OSPF backbone is the special OSPF Area 0 (often written as
Area 0.0.0.0, since OSPF Area ID's are typically formatted as IP
addresses).

Please keep it as it is. ospfctl show database uses the dot notation
everywhere. It would break my scripts if you change that.
