Please explain 2001:db8::/32 then. It was approved by the APNIC policy 
process, and only much later did the authors of that policy proposal 
take it to the IETF and moved through the various hoops to be granted 
informational RFC status. (And even then, only informational, unlike 
RFC1918 which is accorded BCP 5.)

I see nothing wrong with doing the same for 32-bit ASNs. I've found no 
documentation anywhere that forbids this either.
