My gut feeling is to side with Noel (zero subnet numbers are
illegal), but on reflection I am compelled to agree with
Jon (zero subnet numbers must be supported to preserve
compatibility.)  However, I suggest that we "strongly
recommend" against assigning new zero-numbered subnets.
I say this uneasily, because I can think of all sorts of
minor reasons why reserving zero is a good idea.

Note that on the issue of all-ones subnets (all bits in
the subnet field set), I think the need for broadcasting
support (whether or not all organizations intend to use it)
outweighs any compatibility argument -- especially as there
currently seem to be few hosts that would fall afoul of
a prohibition against all-ones subnet numbers.
