I've not seen any discussion of the application of "allowas-in", a valid neighbor configuration under certain topologies/scenarios, as relates to impact today. Also, I'd agree announcing other peoples' ASNs, without their permission, is in bad form. It's okay he's doing it to you, but I bet Randy would be a lot less smiley if you were to announce random paths with 3130.
You should've seen the email storm and panic created when I prepended an AS to avoid a blackhole. I got the right people interested in talking to me at least, but boy-o-boy were people confused about what I was doing.
I guess the problem is that AS PATH is overloaded and people forget that the primary purpose is loop-avoidance. Everything else is secondary and much like reading Received headers in SMTP mail, you really should take everything after your direct neighbor's AS with a grain of salt.
