Nope, by design. Routing would generally be better. The entire area
would effectively be multihomed to the set of area-ISPs.
There'd be some downsides too, eg where a provider attracting traffic
for the prefix has some failure internally and for some reason
doesn't withdraw the area-aggregate to ASes wholly external to the
area.
