    According to RFC 950 only one subnetmask is allowed for an IP network:

I don't think this is true - RFC950 is not highly clear on
the point, but it does seem to suggest that different masks
on different interfaces is possible - and it never says that
that should only happen if the different interfaces are on
different nets.

The problem was never really the spec, but the implementations,
which with any luck will be gradually getting fixed.

Not only does OSPF transport subnet masks around, so does
RIP-II.  I'd assume that anything RIP can do IGRP will have
to do too...
