I don't think the RFCs forbid the zero address being used

RFC 1122 does: "IP addresses are not permitted to have the value 0 or -1 for any of the , , or fields (except in the special cases listed above)."

RFC 3021 modifies this requirement, allowing the zero address to be used for an 31-bit prefix.
