Section A.4.5 says:

Forwarding address
Data traffic for the advertised destination will be forwarded to this address. If the Forwarding address is set to 0.0.0.0, data traffic will be forwarded instead to the LSA's originator (i.e., the responsible AS boundary router).

It should say:

Forwarding address
Data traffic for the advertised destination will be forwarded to this address. If the Forwarding address is set to a Router ID address value other than 0.0.0.0, data traffic will be forwarded to that Router instead to the LSA's originator (i.e., the responsible AS boundary router).

Notes:

Data traffic destined to the network indicated by Link State ID will be routed to that Router ID mentioned in forwarding address. If forwarding address is set to 0.0.0.0, it will be forwarded to LSA Originator itself.
