rfc1122
(g) { 127, <any> }
Internal host loopback address. Addresses of this form
MUST NOT appear outside a host.
<...>
An ICMP error message MUST NOT be sent as the result of
receiving:
<...>
* a datagram whose source address does not define a single
host -- e.g., a zero address, a loopback address, a
broadcast address, a multicast address, or a Class E
address.
Thats about all I could find... which means its a MUST NOT in leaving a
Host, but it says nothing about using the address (note! i cant find even I
requirement for the usage of it in the host-requ. RFCs)
