Does anybody have\had experience with BGP announces containing AS 0 in 
AS path?
I know that AS 0 is reserved by IANA, but  still, is it possible to 
receive such announce messages?

After 3 decades in this business, I can make two predictions:

1) Somebody has managed to fat-finger something and announced AS0 at some point.

2) At least one vendor's gear promptly committed seppuku *after* passing the
broken announcement on to its neighbors.
